Alberta V. Reichling

Alberta V. Reichling (nee Brown), 96, of West Babylon, entered into Eternal Life on Friday, September 18, 2026. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, William C., and her son, William A. She was the devoted mother of Deborah K. Goodwin and dear mother-in-law of William Goodwin and Linda Reichling. She was also the adored grandmother of Jimmy, Cindy (Jon), Becky (JoAnn), Teri (Michael), and Ryan (JP), as well as the cherished great-grandmother of Amelia, William, Eva, and Mikayla. Alberta was a matriarch and glue that held her family together. As the fearless leader of the Reichling family, her late husband would often joke, "OK Moses, get in line behind Alberta." Throughout her long and extraordinary life, she filled her years with devotion to her family and a deep religious faith. A long-time member of Cross Christ Lutheran Church in Babylon, she also founded its "Prime Timers" group. She lived her life to the fullest through her many passions, which included golfing, travel, boating, dancing, painting, fishing, and taking early morning adventures. Alberta was also a member of the Nissequogue and Bellport Country Clubs. Above all, Alberta's greatest legacy is her family.

She touched countless lives and will be deeply missed and forever loved.
