-

Carol M. Martino (nee Gaitings) passed away peacefully on August 29, 2025 with her family by her side.  Carol was born on February 14, 1937 to Walter and Wilhelmina Gaitings.

On February 9, 1957, Carol married Michael Martino (deceased 2006). Carol and Mike raised their four children in Islip, NY – Michael (Linda); Jean Marie Notturno (Charly); Joseph (Peg); and Steven (Geraldine).  Not long after moving to Sag Harbor, NY in 1984 (in a home they built themselves), Carol and Mike quickly made many friends.  Carol soon became a fixture in the Women's Auxiliary as Mike was active with the American Legion.  Upon retirement, Mike and Carol's bucket list included 3 separate cross-country road trips while enjoying quality time with their family and friends.

In addition to her four children, Carol is survived by nine grandchildren and four great grandchildren, all of whom miss her terribly, but are happy to know that she's with her husband Mike again, looking over everyone with love, care, and hope for a brighter tomorrow.  Carol always will be remembered as a loving wife, caring mother / grandmother / great grandmother, beloved aunt, and a dear friend to countless others.

Viewing will be held at Yardley & Pino Funeral Home, 91 Hampton Street, Sag Harbor, NY 11963, on Monday, September 8 from 3PM to 7PM.  A funeral mass will be held at St. Andrew Church, 122 Division Street, Sag Harbor, NY 11963 on Tuesday, September 9 at 11AM, followed by a burial at St. Andrews Cemetery, 1175 Brick Kiln Road, Sag Harbor, NY 11963.  Immediately after the burial, the family welcomes you to join them for a repast and celebration of Carol's life at the American Legion Hall, 26 Bay Street, Sag Harbor, NY 11963.
