Howard Beach resident and long-time Community Board 9 district manager, Mary Ann Carey, has died.
Carey ran the daily operation of CB 9, which covers Kew Gardens, Woodhaven, and parts of Ozone Park and Richmond Hill, from 1979 to 2014.
“Mary Ann Carey was a jewel in the crown of Queens County and a beloved member of our community. I am saddened to hear of her passing. Mary Ann was truly a caring, dedicated and selfless individual. For many years she served as the district manager of Community Board 9 where she worked tirelessly on behalf of local residents and small businesses,” City Councilman Eric Ulrich (R-Ozone Park) said. “Above all else, Mary Ann was a trusted and loyal friend to many, including me. She was always generous with her time and a very kind person, a rare and enviable quality not found much these days in public life. She is reunited with her late husband Donald and now basks in the glow of God’s presence. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. She will be sorely missed.”
