Fave Photo Of The Weekend: Roz Chast & Patty Marx In Coney Island
Long time New Yorker cartoonist Roz Chast recently posted the photo below on social media. It shows Ms. Chast, on the right, with New Yorker contributor Patty Marx, on the Coney Island boardwalk.
I wonder if Petty is buried in Paramus at George Washington memorial cemetery? We just interred my father there.
Mike, although Mary Petty passed away in Paramus, she is buried in the Dunn family plot in
Middleburgh Cemetery in Schoharie County, NY. Her husband, New Yorker cartoonist Alan Dunn, shares the same grave marker. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/170116013/mary-belinde-dunn
