Tammy Gay Frey died July 13 as the result of Huntington's Disease. She had been at Massachusetts General Hospital and was most recently in the care of Health Care Dimensions. She was 33.

Born in New York, she was the daughter of Walter P. and Beryl G. Frey. Ms. Frey lived in Garden City New York until her graduation from high school and spent every summer on Martha's Vineyard.
