Maryann T. Giarratano, age 81, of New York City, entered eternal rest on September 14, 2024, at Connecticut Hospice in Branford, after a long, courageous battle with cancer.
Maryann was born in New Haven on September 24, 1942, daughter of the late Salvatore Alfred and Angelina Piampiano Giarratano. Maryann was a graduate of Ansonia High School and went on to attain her Bachelor’s degree from Southern Connecticut State University in New Haven and her Master’s degree from Stanford University in California.
Through the years, Maryann was employed as a branch manager for Manufacturers Hanover Trust and Citibank and as an assistant to the Chief Marketing Officer at McDermott Will & Emery Law Firm in New York. Maryann enjoyed the arts and took great joy in the many years she spent as a docent at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
She lived in the city for fifty-five years and took pride in being a New Yorker and sharing her wealth of knowledge and love of the city. Maryann cherished the time she spent with her loving family and many friends.
