SATALLANTI An apparent accident in the park ing lot of the One-Stop market in Springs took the life of Madeline Sat- allanti, 72, of North Main Street, East Hampton, Sunday at 10:50. Mrs. Satalianti would have been 73 on Feb. 3. Mrs. Satalianti and her niece, Patri cia Bennett, had driven to the store on Fireplace Road to pick up cigaret tes and other items. Mrs. Satalianti waited in the passenger seat of the car while her niece, w'ho had turned off the engine and left the keys in the ig nition, went into the store, according to Lt. Wayne Fenelon of the Town Police. A scream brought the attention of several bystanders, who found Mrs. Satalianti lying on the ground and the 1980 Plymouth sedan about five feet away, according to the lieutenant, with its engine believed to be run ning. No one saw the accident hap pen, and the car was moved before police arrived on the scene. The car, which has an automatic- transmission, had apparently traveled backward in a semicircular pattern. Mrs. Satalianti, who was then still alive, told those who had come to her aid, “The car w-as rolling; I tried to stop it,” according to Det. Edward Ecker. She was pronounced dead at Southampton Hospital a short time later, police said. The medical examiner’s report had not been released as of press time, so police had not ruled out the possibil ity of a heart attack as the cause of death. Police speculated that Mrs. Satalianti had turned on the ignition to heat the car, it w as reported. It remains uncertain how Mrs. Sat- allanti became caught in the path of the slow-moving car, though her statement led police to believe she was trying to stop the car from rolling backwards. “It’s not determined what happen ed,” Detective Ecker said yesterday. Foul play has been ruled out. Madeline Louise Satalianti was born in 1916, on Cedar Street, East Hampton, to Stanley and Irene Ben nett. She grew up here and attended East Hampton High School. Follow ing her education she work ed at a factory job Uplsland for about a year before her marriage to Jack Sat alianti in 1939. The couple moved to Southampton and back to East Hampton, where they eventually set tled on North Main Street. There Mrs. Satalianti raised her two sons, Frank and Jack Jr., who survive her. Mr. Satalianti died in the early ’80s. Patricia Griffiths of East Hampton, another niece, said her aunt was a devoted mother, in addition, she said, “She really liked teddy bears, and had a small collection of them. Mrs. Satalianti was a congregant at the United Methodist Church of East Hampton. In addition to her sons, she is survived by two brothers, Al bert Bennett of Cedar Street and Le roy Bennett of Delaware. Another brother, Howard, predeceased her.
