Albertus, for 59 years before his death in 2011. Prudie was the beloved mom to four girls; predeceased by her oldest daughter, Donna. She is survived by her three daughters, Barbara Hausman (David), Carol, and Angela.

Prudie is also survived by two great-granddaughters; her loving siblings, Anne, Jeanette, Frank; and sister-in-law, Liz; and many nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her godchildren, Sarah, Michael, and Ben. Her sister, Connie, predeceased her in 1997. Prudie

enjoyed a long career at Macy's Smith Haven as a manager and had a flair for dressing stylishly. She later worked as a travel agent while she and Al enjoyed traveling to Europe, Africa, and the South Pacific. Prudie will always be best remembered for her outgoing personality, hospitality, and culinary talents, as she was a superb cook, always preparing more than enough food for friends and family to drop in on a moment's notice. She would always ask, "Can you stay and have something to eat?" Arrangements by McLaughlin & Sons Funeral Home, Brooklyn.
