Muriel Langer Crook
b. 1918 d. 1998

Survived by her beloved daughter, Diane Laurel Crook, Muriel and brothers Donald R. Langer and Norman Langer. Retired after a distinguished administrative career in the Nassau County Sheriff's Office. Lives on in the memory of roses, which she loved.

The Rose:
Queen and Princess

Rose of everlasting beauty
and pure, consistent,
noble hue

of true symmetry, is a
maze from petals to
unfolding bud within.

Exquisite among
cousins in the wood, they
surround, the rose perfects

Rose and grows wild, but
prefers propagation
in a formal setting.

The gardener strives
to coax a certain stance
of stem and bud

while the rose attains
its regal posture
according to a higher plan

and remains perfect forever.

Ruth Adele Berg Trimble
b. 1895 d. 1972

bullet Survived by loving daughters Ruth Adele Trimble Langer and Nancy Trimble McSherry. Widow of Winfred Edward Trimble (d. 1941). Unconditionally loved her family. Provided for herself, mostly as a manager for John Nocera, for almost 30 years after her husband passed away. A fabulous cook of restaurant fare, like roasts, turkey and pies, as she had cooked at Ruth & Win's Inn, Malvern, NY many years ago.

Fervent NY Giants, then Mets fan, and never missed a game on television. Played Russian Bank for hours on end with her daughter, Ruth. A very lovely woman, with beautiful legs and a hearty, cheerful laugh. Is remembered by one granddaughter for carefully observing the state recycling laws, admonishing grandchildren for putting cans in the paper bin, and for enclosing a book of stamps with every letter.
