Mrs. Nina Pagliaccio, of Bayville, died on Feb. 9, 2001, of cancer at the age of 74. Mrs. Pagliaccio was a long-time resident of the village and a very popular and well-respected teacher in the Oyster Bay-East Norwich School District. Mrs. Pagliaccio was an accomplished and creative teacher who taught in the early childhood program for 28 years. She enjoyed a wonderful relationship with her students and the many parents from the community.

Mrs. Pagliaccio was one of the founding teachers and leaders of the School District's Pre-K program. She was recognized with a New York State Career Achievement award and continued to be called upon by the District in retirement to perform substitute work up until her illness last year. Mrs. Pagliaccio was a tireless worker and her commitment and dedication to the early childhood program helped it endure its difficult and controversial beginning years, and eventually become a mainstay of the district.

Mrs. Pagliaccio received her bachelors degree from C.W. Post College and her masters in education from Hofstra University.

Mrs. Pagliaccio with her husband John, of nearly 60 years, also owned and operated the Astoria Dress Company in Queens - a family business, which manufactured upscale children's and ladies' dresses for some of the finest stores in Manhattan. Mrs. Pagliaccio's parents, Michelina and Gusippie Trimarchi, first generation Italian immigrants in the early 1900s, founded the Astoria Dress Co. Started in their home in the Depression years as a tailoring and piecemeal seamstress business, the Astoria Dress Co. became a fixture on Astoria Blvd., employing numerous women, most immigrants from the local neighborhood, for over 30 years until its closure in 1978.

Mrs. Pagliaccio resided in Bayville since 1954 and was active in the community during its rapid growth. Mrs. Pagliaccio is remembered with great fondness by friends, neighbors and colleagues for her warmth, generosity and humility. Her distinguishable Tudor gatehouse, part of the original Shorewood Estate dating back to the late 1800s, was host to numerous gatherings over the years. Mrs. Pagliaccio was an active volunteer as well as a Democratic Committee woman. She hosted open houses for candidates, and she and her husband were active contributors to many community groups.

Mrs. Pagliaccio was an avid reader and talented seamstress. She was a member of the St. Gertrude's Church Gospel Group and up until her illness served as a volunteer at North Shore University Hospital at Glen Cove, where she became a patient during her yearlong struggle with cancer. Mrs. Pagliaccio said that she "was treated by some of the kindest and gentlest people I could have hoped to encounter." Mrs. Pagliaccio was a loving and friendly person, and she and her husband were recognizable members of the Village and enjoyed many friendships. Mrs. Pagliaccio was a loving wife, mother and devoted grandmother who delighted in the affection and company of her grandchildren and relatives.

Mrs. Pagliaccio leaves her loving husband of 53 years, John Peter Pagliaccio, the former general manager of Ships Service, US Merchant Marine Academy at Kings Point, and her three devoted children, John Anthony Pagliaccio of Dobbs Ferry, managing director, Guy Carpenter & Co., NY, his wife Lynn, grandchildren Sarah Morton and David; Elliot Peter Pagliaccio of Niskayuna, senior fellow, the Rensselaerville Institute, Albany, NY, his wife Wendy Taylor and children Libby Pagliaccio and Spencer and Alex Taylor; and Joseph Anthony Pagliaccio of Bayville, director of Enterprise Services, Adecco, Melville, his wife Dale Waterhouse and two children Isabel and Julian.

Friends and well wishers are asked, in lieu of flowers, to offer a donation if they wish, to the Don Monti Cancer Center at North Shore Community Hospital at Glen Cove, NY.
