Mary A. Maminski

Mary A. Maminski, age 95, passed away peacefully on October 7, 2022. Born and raised on Long Island, NY, Mary in 1947 married the love of her life, Anthony, who preceded her in death in 2006. Upon graduation from high school, she worked in banking until starting her family and raising her three loving daughters, Patricia, Barbara and Nancy.

Her devotion to bring joy to her family and friends had no limits - whether it was baking Christmas cookies, dressing up on Halloween or telling jokes to bring a smile to faces, Mary was always there for everyone.

There was also much more to this kind, compassionate woman. Mary volunteered at Glen Cove Hospital to assist patients and families, counseled troubled teens in Church outreach programs and was President of the Women's Auxiliary of the American Legion. She was an active member of the Golden Ring Club and thoroughly enjoyed senior luncheons. Whenever there was a helping hand needed (and her Mets and Yankees needed support), Mary was at the front of the line.

She will be deeply missed by her daughters as well as sons-in-law Bill Ferguson and David Shapiro; grandchildren James (wife Becca) Ferguson, Leah (husband Alex) Berghefer and Jesse Shapiro; and great granddaughter Blake Rae Berghefer.

Mary’s passing will leave a giant void in the life of all who knew her. Rest in peace Mary.
