On Monday morning my Nana, Barbara Horrigan, passed away peacefully in the arms of her loving family. During her life she held many important roles: a diligent accountant, loving daughter, courageous older sister, devoted wife, an incredible mother, a gracious godmother, and a beloved Nana. My Nana accomplished many things in her 88 years of life, but if anyone asked her what her biggest accomplishment was she’d tell them it was her family. If you knew my Nana, you know that family was her world. My Nana was a constant presence in all of our lives. She never missed an important milestone. From birthdays, to sacraments, to graduations, to proms, to sporting events, to holidays, Nanny was always there. There are truly no words that can adequately express the impact that she had on my life. To me, Nanny was much more than my grandmother. She was my role model, other half, voice of reason, first phone call when I was upset, support system, favorite lunch date and so much more. She was my person. Nanny was always in my corner. There are countless qualities that I admired about my Nana, but I think her selflessness was most admirable. She would do anything for anyone. Her love was unconditional. Nana was a consummate pro at keeping the room lighthearted- always quick with a joke to keep you in good spirits and put a smile on your face. I could share stories about her and the lessons she’s taught me forever, but she’d want me to keep this short and sweet, just like her. The bond we shared is something that I will cherish forever. She was and continues to be there at all times of need; over the phone, physically, and now spiritually. She may no longer be physically present, but I take comfort in her looking down on and watching my family and I carry on her beautiful legacy. Nanny, Thank you for giving me the gift of your time and the blessing of our memories. I love you so much and I miss you dearly. Until we meet again my beautiful guardian angel ❤️ Love, Emily Rose

The Horrigan house was my second home when growing up. The door was always open. There was always laughter and true warmth in the home. Mrs. Horrigan set the tone. She had one of the kindest and most genuine hearts you will find in in a human being. I can't say enough about the woman who truly was like a 2nd mother to me. I'm not sure she ever knew the extent of the presence and positive impact she and the entire family had in my life. I hope she realized and understood what kind of hole she filled in my life when she opened her doors and let me in. I always felt I was part of the family. Mr. & Mrs. Horrigan put up with a lot of mischief from us during those years. I am so grateful to the Horrigan family for some of the best memories in my life. I don't think Mrs. Horrigan would have let it be any other way. Thank you and rest in peace. With all of our love. The Young's

I spent a lot of time at the Horrigan household back in the 70’s and 80’s, and remember how kind and accommodating the Horrigan’s (Mr & Mrs Hog) were. I remember Mrs Horrigan as quiet and reserved and so very, very pleasant...even when we got a bit loud and rowdy (which was pretty much all of the time). Mr Horrigan, Johnny, Gail and Susan, please know that we are thinking of you during this very difficult time, and hope that the fond memories of your wife and Mom will comfort you.
