"I love Amagansett so much." Many people have said those words but no one has said it so often and lived it so fully more than Joan Tulp. We were saddened to learn today of Joan's passing at age 96.
She was Amagansett's brightest flower and most ardent supporter and guardian of the good of this hamlet's natural beauty and charm.
Joan, a one-time Brooklynite, had the skill born to all New Yorkers: she would give it to you straight and look you in the eye, as both a caring listener and problem solver.
Her years-long work with the Amagansett Village Improvement Society has had a profound effect on the beautification of Amagansett. She also served with many other organizations, she was a tireless advocate for the community.
Joan never missed an AmOGansett Parade and served as the Grand Marshal in 2017. As a true queen, she wore a tiara and had a scepter; it's hard to say who had more fun: us or her.
We will remember Joan in that joyful way and the legacy of all her good works, beautiful spirit, and true friendship. Rest easy,
Joan. ❤️
