Lake Ronkonkoma crash victim was recently retired United Airlines flight attendant

The 61-year-old woman struck and killed by a pickup truck in Lake Ronkonkoma Saturday night had recently retired after 35 years as a United Airlines flight attendant.

Sabra Huber retired from United earlier this year. In retirement, she had been working as an independent elder care provider, advertising her services on ElderCare.com.

In her profile on the site, Huber described herself as a “safety professional” who was CPR and first-aid certified. She wrote that she learned caregiving by looking after her own family, calling it “an honor to take care of a family member.”

Huber graduated from Patchogue-Medford High School in 1984 and went on to earn a bachelor’s at SUNY Cortland.

Police said she lived in Ridge. Though on social media, Huber listed Miller Place as her hometown.

Huber was in the roadway on Ronkonkoma Avenue near Portion Road at about 6:40 p.m. Nov. 7 when a northbound 2025 Chevrolet Silverado hit her, Suffolk Police said. She was taken to Stony Brook University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

The driver, Paige Maurici, 24, of East Islip, was not hurt. Police impounded the Silverado for a safety check and have not said whether charges are expected.

No funeral arrangements have been announced.

Fourth Squad detectives are still investigating. Anyone with information about the crash is asked to call the Fourth Squad at 631-854-8452.
