Beverley Sedgwick Greene
Beverley Sedgwick (Lomas) Greene of Orient died July 15, 2024.
Born on April 4, 1946, in White Plains, N.Y., to John William and Grace Beverley Lomas. She was known as “Dinny” to family and friends from childhood.
She spent her early years with her younger sisters Joanna (Wendy) Lomas and Catharine (Katie) Barlow Lomas in Easton, Conn., and summered in Orient at her family home. She graduated from Joel Barlow High School in Redding, Conn., in 1964. After attending Briarcliff Manor Junior College, she graduated in 1968 from George Washington University in Washington, D.C., where she was a Cherry Blossom Princess representing the state of Connecticut in 1967.
Upon graduation, she became a flight attendant for Pan American Airways, based out of New York City. Her daughter, Charlotte (Charlie) Jordon Greene, was born in 1974. In 1975 she moved back to Orient where her parents had retired, and resumed her career with Pan Am, during which she raised her daughter and traveled the world to many exotic places. She had a long and rewarding career with Pan Am until it went bankrupt, and was one of the outstanding employees hired by Delta Airlines, when they took over from Pan Am in 1991. She has had many awards and accolades from both airlines over the years, during a career that spanned over 51 years. COVID-19 finally prompted her retirement in 2020.
In her spare time, she enjoyed volunteering and helped out at Maureen’s Haven feeding the homeless and at the Congregational church yard sales and the Southold Griswold Terry Glover American Legion fundraisers, and also the various fundraisers for the Cynthia Goldsmith-Agosta Scholarship Fund, as the Goldsmiths were close family friends whose daughter was born on the same day as Charlie. She enjoyed cooking, gardening and reading.
Her daughter Charlie went on to study in Australia where she met Mark Connellan, whom she later married. Charlie and Mark remained in Australia where they produced the joy of Beverley’s life, her two grandchildren, Jack and Lily Connellan. She adored her grandchildren and flew regularly for long visits to the family in Australia; and they would fly to America to spend summers and Christmases in Orient.
She was predeceased by her sister Catharine Barlow Lomas in 1976.
She will be dearly missed by family and friends.
