Oct. 9, 1937 - Feb. 10, 2022

Adelaide H. Dunlop, a 1955 graduate of East Hampton High School, died on Feb. 10 in Venice, Fla., where she had been living since 2006. She was 84.

Ms. Dunlop had a career as a bookkeeper, retiring in 2005. She was a member of and greeter for Epiphany Cathedral Catholic Church in Venice, and was a member and past president of the Ladies Auxiliary of the Knights of Columbus.

She enjoyed watching sports and playing cards with her friends. Her family said she will be remembered as a wonderful mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

She was born in Maplewood, N.J., on Oct. 9, 1937, to Nelson Hall and the former Josephine Darnulc.

Ms. Dunlop’s second husband, James Dunlop, died before her. A previous marriage, to William Coyle in 1956, ended in divorce.

A daughter, Therese Coyle Field, also died before her. She leaves two children, Christina Bertrand and John Coyle. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Scott Bertrand, Lee Bertrand, Tanner Bertrand, Addie Kelley, William Field, Brian Field, Henry Uihlein Jr., Kyle Coyle, and Drew Coyle. She leaves eight great-grandchildren.

Eclipse Fever Gripped the South Fork, Too

During the solar eclipse on Monday, when approximately 89 percent of the sun was blocked out by the moon here, it was both a communal and a solitary experience for those taking it in at a watch party at the South Fork Natural History Museum in Bridgehampton. The field behind the museum was dotted with 100-plus voyeurs, in small groupings on lawn chairs and blankets, staring with solar-safe spectacles, taking in every second of the hot action.
