What a fun, caring, sweet and friendly woman. She opened her home to my teenage self many years ago and always made me feel so welcome and comfortable. She took a bunch of 18 year olds out to Escapes many years ago , and we had the best time ever, thanks to her love of fun and life!! So many fond memories; I want to send strength and comfort to her wonderful children whom I love very much. I know you learned the best from her; keep that warmth glowing :)

Medium Maryann

April 12, 2014

I worked with Maryann Haggerty's daughter, Maryann, at the Sunrise Mall on Long Island.  When Mair's mom came to visit, I greeted her as Mrs. Sapanara.  I quickly learned that she was no longer a Sapanara, and that I should simply call her Maryann.  Well, I was a little uncomfortable with that, so I suggested Big Maryann.  As I am sure you can guess, THAT did not go over well.  So, the name Medium Maryann was born.

So, Medium Maryann woud come to the mall now and then and do some shopping and she would always stop by the snack bar.  I never wanted to charge her, but I also didn't want to get in trouble for giving away free food.  So, no matter WHAT Medium Maryann ordered, I would just say, "Gimme $3."  That was our thing.

I think of her and her family every day, and it breaks my heart that she is gone. 

A superior couch bed

January 15, 2014

I spent one night in Maryann's home in Massapequa, and she made the most bedlike couch I've ever slept on. Not only were the couch cushions tightly covered in sheets, she had a way of tucking in the flat sheet so it seemed attached to the couch and did not pull out or crumple the way it would if it was simply draped on top like a blanket. Perfect!

If only I owned a couch...

 

Friday Night Fun

November 30, 2013
Maureen and I were sitting in the kitchen, just hanging out when it occurred to us just how much fun it was to make Maryann crazy! We carefully planned our attack by turning the throw pillows of the couch slightly off center, moving the candy dish to face a different direction, and wrinkling a curtain ever so slightly. We sat back and admired our work, patiently waiting for Maryann to arrive home. Once Maryann arrived home, she plopped in her chair and joined our conversation. Moments later, Maureen and I watched as mid sentence, she got up, and moved the throw pillows back to their "correct positions", fixed the ever so slight wrinkle in the curtain, and repositioned the candy dish. We couldn't contain ourselves....we broke out in laughter. Maryann stood there, hands on her hips, shaking her head. It became a "thing" for a while. We would reposition things and see how long it would take for her to notice. As she would fix everything we moved, she would always ask us "don't the two of you have anything better to do?". Maureen was always quick to reply with a simple "Nope". Her home was a safe haven, she was a friend to all who entered, and her love and compassion were undeniable. She will always hold a special place in my heart. Maryann will be missed.
