MARY GARDINER PEET

Mary Gardiner Peet, of Shelter Island and Larchmont, New York, died on June 10, 2005 after a brave battle with cancer. She was 63. Born on February 20, 1942, Mimi was the daughter of the late Jacqueline Cartier Prime, of St. Thomas, USVI and Sylvester G. Prime of Shelter Island.

She is survived by her husband of 41 years, E. Chester Peet Jr., her sister, Lorette de T. Prime, children, Mary Magarelli, Caroline Kaplan, Amy Pace, Chester Peet III, and nine grandchildren.

Mimi will be remembered for her enormous creative talents which included painting, needlepoint, knitting, and gardening. She was an avid and accomplished sailor who raced competitively in her youth and enjoyed cruising with family and friends. She was a quiet contributor of all of her talents to many causes, large and small, and will be greatly missed by those who knew her goodness.

A memorial mass will be held in her honor at Our Lady of The Isle Church on Shelter Island on Saturday June 18 at 11:30 am. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in her honor to The Shelter Island Red Cross or The Calvary Fund, Calvary Hospital 1740 Eastchester Road, Bronx, NY 10461, where she received such compassionate care at the end of her life.
