Born: July 13, 1955 Died: Age: 63

Meg Carbone, an educator, an example, and an inspiration, passed away at Long Island Jewish Hospital on Friday morning, March 1st from complications surrounding her longtime battle with CLL, a type of leukemia. She was 63. Her relationship with the disease over recent years placed her in intensive care several times, and while these bouts weakened her, they also prepared her. Meg drew on inner light and spent her periods of good health by communicating her feelings and intentions, and celebrating the accomplishments of her family and extended network of friends.

Meg's light came from a purity of spirit, an inherently good energy, that she used as a starting point in daily life throughout her years. Whether teaching the young children that she loved, directing summer camps, working as a professional ski instructor, or as a wife and mother, she started from a place of honesty and intention, and made her world from there.

Together with her husband Tim, she built a life within means that they balanced to maximize time as a united pair, and later as a cohesive family unit. As school teachers, Meg and Tim lived by a schedule that allowed them to split time between Quogue, New York, where they met, and Okemo, Vermont, where they spent weekends. In addition to her husband, she is survived by her two sons Kurt and Bradley, whom Meg and Tim raised in this seasonal lifestyle, at the beach in the Hamptons during the summer, and outdoors on the snow in the winter.

Meg loved her family, and understood the importance of communicating this love. She learned openness growing up with three brothers in Yonkers, New York, and through her extended network of cousins. Always open to welcoming new people into her light, she added to this family throughout her life as she shared her love with friends, with families that she taught in school and on the slopes, and with the families and friends of her sons.

She had a passion for aesthetics. In her youth Meg channeled energy into an arts education and worked in advertising graphic design. Over time, this energy evolved into an attention to detail that she used to construct her personal style, her approach to work, the organization of her home, and her decorative celebration of the seasons and holidays. She loved the creativity and stimulus that came from attending shows, traveling, and being with new people. Meg was an accomplished home cook, and carried her aesthetic sensibility into the preparation of simple, wonderful meals that ranged in size from 2 to 20.

Meg was proud of Tim, and promoted him as an example of hard work, honesty, and integrity. Together, they taught these values to their sons and community. Kurt and Bradley, as all of us, will carry this legacy forward in interpretation of her spirit.

Meg, you are missed. Rest in peace.
