A wake for Elaine Jones of Amagansett, who died on Sept. 18, was to be held at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton on Tuesday from 5 to 8 p.m. On Wednesday, a celebration of her life will take place at 11 a.m. at St. Luke's Episcopal Church in East Hampton, followed by interment at Cedar Lawn Cemetery, and a reception at the Amagansett Fire Department.

The family suggests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Amagansett Fire Department, P.O. Box 911, Amagansett 11930 or the East Hampton Food Pantry, P.O. Box 505, East Hampton 11937.

A full obituary will appear in this week's paper.
