Camille Tassa, who lived in Amagansett from 1977 to 2019, died on Sunday in Suwanee, Ga. Mrs. Tassa, who had advanced dementia, was 87.
In East Hampton Town, she worked for the Montauk Yacht Club, the law offices of Leonard Ackerman, Most Holy Trinity Catholic Church, the Three Mile Harbor Marina, and the Amagansett Fire Department. In New York City, where she was born on March 13, 1939, to Salvatore Amico and the former Jennie Marino, she had worked for Chase Manhattan Bank and the W.T. Grant department store. Later she was a member of Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Cumming, Ga.
She grew up in Long Island City and graduated from Long Island City High School. She and Robert Tassa were married on Jan. 5, 1957, and they lived in the Flushing neighborhood of Queens.
Mr. Tassa's mother was from Amagansett, said Mrs. Tassa's daughter, Roseanne Perniciaro, who lives in Cumming. "My father loved it out there," she said, "and we used to drive all the way out there every Sunday."
The couple bought property on Gansett Lane in Amagansett in the late 1960s and built a house there in the 1970s. Mr. Tassa died in 1998. Two decades later, Mrs. Tassa moved to Suwanee.
In addition to her daughter, two grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and a brother, Michael Amico of Lutz, Fla., survive her.
A funeral Mass will be said on Wednesday at 10 a.m. at Most Holy Trinity, the Rev. Ryan Creamer officiating. Burial will follow at Most Holy Trinity Cemetery.
