Feb. 3, 1958 - Oct. 1, 2024

Christina David Hupalowsky loved gardening, swimming, birding, and boating in her favorite place, Gardiner’s Bay, her husband, Thomas Hupalowsky, wrote.

Ms. Hupalowsky, who was 66, died of lung cancer on Oct. 1 in Venice, Fla.

In the early 1980s, she worked at Chemical Bank on Newtown Lane in East Hampton. She spent a year at the Amaden Gay insurance agency, going on to work for 30 years as an office manager at Ben Krupinski Builders, retiring in 2015. She and Mr. Hupalowsky, who had married on July 11, 1987, then moved to Florida.

Ms. Hupalowsky was born in Brooklyn on Feb. 3, 1958, to Cyril Frank David and the former Betty Wright. Her family summered in Springs when she was a young child and moved there year round in 1971. She graduated from the Springs School and East Hampton High School.

In addition to her husband, she is survived by a brother, Peter David, who lives in Seattle.
