Trustees

Governance of Island Cemetery is provided by a Board of Trustees made of individuals with ownership of lots with four or more graves. The cemetery’s Articles of Incorporation call for nine Trustees to be appointed for a period of three years from the shareholders of the cemetery.  Every year three of the Trustee’s terms expire and must either be renewed or replaced at the Annual Meeting.  If a Trustee resigns or withdraws in the interim, a replacement may be appointed by the President to complete the term.  At present, the Trustees are:

Pamela Kelley, President

Robert Vitello, Vice-President

Frank Ray, Treasurer

Kevin Kelley, Secretary

Dan Titus

Barbara Benson

George Herrick

Harry Eudenbach

Lisa Lewis

Staff

Sharon Hussey, Executive Director
