Rose Lauder, charter member and Docent of Amityville Historical Society
When Bill Lauder was drafted into the U.S. Army during World War II, he left his hometown of Amityville to serve his country and carried with him a picture of Rose Abby, a young woman from Copiague he had recently met. Lauder served overseas for three years and throughout that time the couple corresponded. When he came home in May, 1945, Bill Lauder and Rose Abby were engaged immediately, and the couple married in November of that year. They would be celebrating their 64th wedding anniversary this year.
Rose Abby Lauder died Sept. 5, 2009. She was 85 years old and was described by her family as a wonderful woman, wife and mother.
“She was a gentle, easy going woman who never worried and was always a calming influence on the whole family,” said her daughter Jane of Virginia. “She was warm, loved to laugh and was always a comfort to come home to.”
Mrs. Lauder was born in Brooklyn and raised in Copiague. She graduated from Lindenhurst High School in 1942. She met her husband Bill in a bakery that her friend’s family owned and it was, said the family, love at first sight.
Her life in Amityville was filled with family and friends. She was a member of the Amityville Woman’s Club, a charter member and docent of the Amityville Historical Society, a volunteer for the United Methodist Church Attic store and a member of the Amityville Bridge Club.
“She loved having lunch every Wednesday with the Bridge group,” said her longtime friend Ellen Ricciuti. “She was a wonderful person and one of my best friends.”
She and her husband Bill loved to spend time on their boat on the Great South Bay and had close friends with whom they spent many summers with cruising the Bay and the Long Island Sound. Thecouple traveled and visited Europe and the Caribbean many times and every winter, for the past 27 years, they visited Sanibel Island in Florida, spending time with family there. In later years, Mrs. Lauder took up golf and even made a hole-in-one.
In addition to her husband Bill, Mrs. Lauder is survived by her children, Jane E. Kane and her husRose band Stephen, and Victoria R. Lauder, all of Virginia. Her grandchildren, Stephen W. Kane, Laurie B. Whitham and Thomas L. Kane, all of Virginia, and her sister Lillian A. Kemper of Florida also survive her, as do her nieces and nephew, Gerri and Patty of Florida and Billy of Georgia.
Mrs. Lauder reposed at the Powell Funeral home, Broadway, Amityville. A funeral prayer service was held there Tuesday, Sept. 8, followed by interment in Amityville Cemetery. Memorial contributions in Mrs. Lauder’s name may be made to the Historical Society Endowment Fund, Historical Society Lauder Museum, 170 Broadway, Amityville NY 11701.
