Alice Gray Augustitus passed away at Stony Brook University Hospital on Feb. 21 at the age of 95, after a brief illness. She was born in Southampton on June 28, 1914, the first of two daughters of William and Alice (Stulet) Gray. She grew up on Bayberryland, an estate in Southampton, where her father was manager.
Mrs. Augustitus began her education in a two-room schoolhouse in Tuckahoe. In 1932 she graduated from Southampton High School as the valedictorian. Her fine record allowed her to attend Albany State Teachers College on a full Regents Scholarship. She graduated in 1936, certified to teach both French and Latin. Following her graduation from college, Mrs. Augustitus was employed as a private teacher for a small boy in Southampton.
In January of 1938 Mrs. Augustitus came to Setauket when a position to teach French and Latin became available at the old Setauket High School. On July 9, 1944, she married John, a young widower with an 8-year-old daughter. Starting in 1945, she took a break from teaching to devote herself to her family.
In 1958 Mrs. Augustitus resumed teaching as one of the first teachers at Harbor Country Day School when it opened its doors in September of that year. She taught French and Latin in grades four through eight. Mrs. Augustitus also taught crafts, specializing in her hobby of copper enameling, using her own kiln brought from home.
In 1964 Mrs. Augustitus began teaching high school students once again when she was offered a position to teach French and Latin at The Stony Brook School. When the school became co-ed in the early 1970s, Mrs. Augustitus gave extracurricular courses in knitting and crocheting. She taught at Stony Brook for 24 years, before retiring from that school in June 1988. In September 1987 Mrs. Augustitus accepted a part-time position to teach Latin at the Knox School. She taught there until June 1995.
She was also a member of the Setauket Fire Department Ladies Auxiliary for 62 years, a member of the Suffolk County Firemen's Ladies Auxiliary for 51 years, and a member of the American Legion Auxiliary for 39 years. Mrs. Augustitus was also a member of the American Association of University Women and of the Long Island Classical Society. In recent years she enjoyed attending meetings of the Senior Citizens Club and Just Friends.
During school vacations Mrs. Augustitus and her husband of more than 60 years made numerous trips to far-off countries. In December of 2000, together with her husband John, Mrs. Augustitus received a proclamation from the county executive in recognition of their service to the community.
She was predeceased by her son John ("Jack") in 1968, by her husband John in 2004 and by her only sister, Catherine Gray Sickles of Southampton in 2007.
She is survived by her daughter Anne Kreilkamp and her stepdaughter Patricia Gerard and their families which include three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
A memorial service is planned for 10 am on August 18 at the Setauket Presbyterian Church. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her honor to either the Setauket Presbyterian Church or the Setauket Volunteer Firemans Benevolent Association.
