Carol

Griffiths

Carol Anne Griffiths, born June 6, 1960, the only child of the late Betty and Wayne Zimmerman, peacefully passed away on January 12th with her family by her side after a long battle with Alzheimer's and Lewy body dementia.
Carol attended East Hampton Elementary and East Hampton High School while also working for her father as his bookkeeper. Her bookkeeping skills eventually led to positions at the Bank of New York and later Bridgehampton National Bank, where many people still remember her fondly today.
Carol's passion for helping others later drew her to work at The Retreat, where she supported women in need of shelter, often helping not only the women themselves but also their children. She took great pride in assisting women in finding employment and housing within a safe and supportive environment for those who needed it most. She eventually retired from The Retreat, knowing she had made a meaningful difference in many lives.
Carol is survived by her daughter, Jillian Griffiths Franzone; her son-in-law, Vincent Franzone; and her two step-grandchildren, Anthony and Vincent, whom she adored and spoke about often.
Carol had a deep love for dancing and reggae music, and she could often be found on the dance floor, ending the night with a drink and laughter alongside the band. Her final days were spent at home, surrounded by family and loved ones.
