Aileen Shirley Osofsky née Bryant (September 6, 1926 – June 22, 2010) was an American community leader, philanthropist and bridge player. She served as the chairman of the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL) Goodwill Committee for more than 20 years from 1985.〔 ==Early life== Aileen Bryant was born in Brooklyn, the third of four children. Her father, Harry Bryant, was an architect and builder whose commission to construct military barracks took the family around the country. With each move, Aileen skipped a grade, graduating from high school at age 15. She met her future husband, Meyer Osofsky, while in Cunningham Junior High School.〔 They married in 1945. Meyer served in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II, and then founded "Aileen", a popular women's sportswear line named for his wife. In 1969, the couple built their dream home and settled in Shelter Island, choosing a plot overlooking Hay Beach. The architect Norman Jaffe designed the house. It is considered one of his most accomplished and is featured in the 2001 book ''Weekend Utopia: Modern Living in the Hamptons'' and in the "Romantic Modernist: The Life and Work of Norman Jaffe, Architect" exhibit at the Parrish Art Museum in 2005.〔 Shortly after the Osofskys moved into their new home, Aileen began to participate in the community by offering the use of her home for a Shelter Island House Tour and her tennis court for local tennis tournaments. She was a steadfast supporter of the Friends of Music, the Perlman Music Program, the police and fire departments and the Red Cross ambulance corps. When Aileen won thousands of dollars as the major prize winner at the Fire Department's Chicken Barbecue, she donated it all back to the community. With her husband and daughter, Aileen donated the Manhanset Chapel (also known as Mechanic's Hall) to the Shelter Island Historical Society.〔
