Carole R. Coviello passed away on January 17, 2024 at the Cleveland Clinic Indian River Hospital with her husband of 56 years, Phil, and her daughter, Sarah, and son, David, at her side. Carole was born in Stamford, CT on June 25, 1944 to Henry and Pauline Robertson. They, along with her older brother, Doug, lived in various places in both the United States and abroad, including New Delhi, India and Kobe, Japan. She graduated from The Chatham Hall School in Danville, VA and the Columbia University School of Nursing.

After obtaining her R.N. license and subsequent marriage to Phil in 1967, she worked as a nurse in the Labor & Delivery Rooms at St. Luke’s Hospital in New York City, ultimately becoming the Head Nurse in that department. She retired in 1971 upon the birth of her first child, living in NYC, Ridgewood, NJ and for over 30 years New Canaan, CT, where she was active in several local organizations, most notably the New Canaan Society for the Arts, of which she was President for several years. From 2000 to 2003, Carole and Phil lived in London and Milan where he was working. Upon her husband’s retirement at the end of 2003, they split their time between New Canaan and a house that Carole had co-designed in Santa Fe, NM.

Carole was an avid needle pointer and knitter and did so frequently for charitable purposes. She also was a tennis player at The Lake Club in New Canaan and The Country Club of Darien. She later switched to playing golf at CCD and The Club at Las Campanas in Santa Fe, NM. She and her husband moved to The Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club in Vero Beach in 2007, becoming full-time residents there in 2020.

Carole loved to travel the world with her friends and then also with her husband after his retirement in 2003. She had visited places in virtually every continent until health issues precluded foreign travel after 2019. Carole was a wonderful wife, mother and friend, and will be missed. She is survived by her husband and two children plus four grandchildren. The family plans to hold celebrations of her life later this year in both Vero Beach and Santa Fe. In lieu of flowers, contributions in her memory can be made to the Cleveland Clinic Indian River Foundation to support the expansion of the Emergency Room.

Linda Marie Pufal, 83, of Marked Tree, AK

August 5, 1940 – January 12, 2024

Linda Marie Pufal, 83, of Marked Tree, AK, passed away on January 12, 2024. Linda was born on August 5, 1940, to Hugh and Martha Hamilton.

She spent most of her youth growing up in Ramer, TN before moving to NJ after graduating from Ramer High School. It was in Irvington, NJ that she met her husband, Walter Pufal of 63 years.

They moved to Vero Beach from Forked River, NJ in 2017.

Linda and Walt owned a luncheonette/Pizzeria, The Corner Café, in Providence, NJ for many years. She became known, not only for her delicious pizza and homemade meals but also for her beloved sassy personality.

Not one to sit idle, in her early retirement Linda got her CDL license and drove a school bus. She also became a wonderfully creative flower arranger which wasn’t a surprise since she always had a garden and what a green thumb she had! There was nothing that she couldn’t grow.
After her father passed away at an early age, Linda being the oldest of her siblings, she and her husband sacrificed much in their early marriage to give everyone the best start they could in life. Her nephew Michael affectionately calls her Mommy Lin since he spent much time in her care as a child. She was the consummate Mom to everyone. Linda loved and cared for her family. It was most important to her.

Linda had a wonderful sense of humor and was great at telling jokes. She always kept the Tennessee spirit of her mom alive with funny southern sayings. She was a strong and courageous woman who was not afraid of any challenge.

Linda is preceded in death by her sister, Patricia Palma, her father, Hugh Hamilton, and her mother, Martha Hamilton. She is survived by husband Walter, son Jeffrey (Catherine), siblings, Martha (Mitch), Marilyn, Steven Gary (Debbie), MaryAnn (Michael) and grandson Jacob. She will be greatly missed.

Arrangements are entrusted to Strunk Funeral Homes & Crematory, 1623 North Central Avenue, Sebastian, Florida 32958.
