• Notes

  Caryl Baumann Stamm died Aug. 3 at the age of 93 in her home in Weston, Fla., where she had lived near her daughter Cathy for the last seven years. Prior to that, she lived first in Manhattan and then Scarsdale but was always a proud New Yorker at heart, her family said. A magna cum laude, Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Smith College and Columbia School of Social Work, she had a thriving clinical psychology practice for over six decades and was co-founder of a mental health association in Westchester. In addition she volunteered her services to cancer patients and gave to multiple charitable organizations including, but not limited to those for cancer, diabetes, and Saint Jude's for children. The daughter of Bess Oppenheim and Oscar Baumann, she was the wife of Julian Stamm, and niece of Elsie Friedman. She is survived by her three daughters: Patricia Stamm, Linda Stamm Willig, and Cathy Stamm Kaufman; two sons-in-law: John Willig and Jerry Kaufman; their children: Jason and Jennifer Stamm, Justin and Ashley Willig, and Adam and Lexie Kaufman; her sister Joan Oppenheim; her niece and nephew, Nancy Shubert and Richard Oppenheim. Mrs. Stamm was "an incredibly compassionate, generous, graceful, elegant, energetic, and strong woman," her family said. "As a devoted mother, grandmother, friend and gifted psychologist, she was loved by everyone who knew her." She had a great appreciation for the arts, especially fine arts and the Broadway theater, but her greatest passion and gift was caring for people. She was always available when anyone needed her support or guidance, her family said. Known by some to be like Mother Theresa, she was also nicknamed "The Queen of the Palms" at her current residence. "All of us who were lucky enough to have her in our lives already miss her terribly," her family said. A funeral service was held Aug. 7 at Sharon Gardens in Valhalla.
