In Memory of Caryle Cammisa 

Caryle Cammisa, active League member and chair of our Environment and Climate Change action group, died peacefully on October 4, 2023 after fighting multiple myeloma for 17 years. She is survived by her devoted daughter, Natalie, her mother Kathryn Cammisa, siblings Kathee Cammisa, Joe Cammisa and Laurie Green, three nieces and a nephew and two grand-nephews. 

You may find her obituary notice at https://everloved.com/life-of/caryle-cammisa/obituary/. 

Our League is working with the Tampa Bay Sierra Club (https://www.sierraclub.org/florida/tampa-bay) to dedicate a bench with a personalized plaque in Caryle’s honor in Ridgewood Park Butterfly Garden, 2200 N Glenwood Dr, Tampa. The bench is shown in the photo below.

This project is coordinated through Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful, an affiliate of Keep America Beautiful, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote a culture of environmental stewardship through volunteer and educational opportunities. Since 1989, Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful has formed partnerships with local governments, corporations, schools, and neighborhood organizations to engage individuals and provide opportunities to enhance the community through volunteer participation.

The cost of the personalized plaque is $1,000. Donations of any amount are very welcome. Once we have reached this goal, we will send the funds to Keep Tampa Bay Beautiful.
