Camille Giuliani

Camille was born in Greenpoint, Brooklyn to John (Alphonso) and Margaret Giuliani on June 5, 1928.

She was the first of three children born to this couple… the other two being Joseph and George.

If you use the words kind and giving, you will have to add Camille’s name next to it.  She always helped with everything around the home and was always in the kitchen assisting her mother to cook that delicious Italian food.  Camille went on to High School and then enrolled in the curriculum to  study to be a teacher at Brooklyn College.  She had only one semester to go to finish her teaching degree when she had to leave due to illness.  She then went to work at her grandfather’s coffee urn business in New York Cecilware.  She worked there for a while until she got a job with the Girl Scouts of America in Roosevelt Field Office on Long Island.

Camille loved this job and the different camping events and it was there that she met Joan Lutz.  They were partners together for 51 years until Joan’s death in 2013.  They lived in Hempstead for all that time in a home which was passed down by Joan’s uncle.

And she loved her food…Chinese, American, Italian any and all ice creams… and would finish every morsel on the plate and say “Oh Lord I cannot eat another thing!”

 And oh did they love to travel.  Their love for Europe and especially Ireland and England overflowed. They loved the National Parks and took pride in their picture books which Camille labeled and described with exact tour guide expertise.

 In her later years Camille put this love of travel into her job of a travel agent and did this until she retired. 

Camille loved her family..her nieces and nephews and especially both her brothers Joe the middle one married to Anne and George ten years younger than Camille married to Carol.  George used to say that Camille raised him in a way as she understood the real world more than his mother. 

She was devoted to her faith and after moving to Sayville was a daily parishioner  of St. Lawrence the Martyr where she made many friends her age.

We will miss her kindness and gentle nature and were lucky to have had her in our lives for 97 years.
