William J. Giordano
Oct 26, 2021 |
William J. Giordano, 80, of Mattapoisett died October 26, 2021 at St. Luke's Hospital after a long illness.
He was the husband of Marsha G. (Hussey) Giordano.
Born and raised in Chicago, IL, son of the late Costanzo and Johanna S. (Konow) Giordano, he lived in Mattapoisett most of his life.
He and his wife were the proprietors of W.J. Sales for many years until retirement.
In retirement, he enjoyed himself. Bill's sarcastic sense of humor did not betray the fact that he was a big teddy bear. Bill hated all New England sports and was a big Chicago Bears and Chicago Cubs fan. This didn't work so well for him over the past 20 years. Bill loved teasing Marsha about everything, talking about his grandchildren, his retirement role at New Bedford Floor and his Sunday morning breakfast crew. Prior to his death, he was fortunate to be able to see Marsha, his children and his brother's sons, who were so special to him.
Survivors include his wife Marsha; a daughter, Jacqueline Giordano Bedard and her husband Eric of Norwood; 2 sons, Braden Giordano of Reston, VA and Bryon Giordano and his wife Sara of Alexandria, VA; 5 grandchildren, Alexandra, Olivia, Maggie, Robert and Ellis; and many nieces and nephews.
He was the brother of the late Robert Giordano and father of the late Christine Giordano.
His funeral arrangements are with the Saunders-Dwyer Mattapoisett Home for Funerals, 50 County Road, Mattapoisett. Services will be private. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Wounded Warrior Project in his name: https://support.woundedwarriorproject.org/Default.aspx?tsid=10043

Oct 23, 2021 |
Wesley N. Bowman, 80, of Mattapoisett died unexpectedly at home on Saturday, October 23, 2021. He was the husband of Barbara A. (Kubik) Bowman, with whom he shared 61 years of marriage.
Born, raised and educated in Mattapoisett, he was the son of the late Alexander Bates Bowman and the late Edna (Morell) Bowman and lived in Mattapoisett all of his life. Wes left school at an early age to work with his dad taking care of properties in town. He then worked for Pallatroni and Gingras and Paul Cleary until he started his own lawn care and tree cutting service and backhoe business. He was the Mattapoisett tree warden from 1974 to 1987. He then ran a successful campaign for Mattapoisett highway surveyor and proudly served in that position from 1988 until 2006.

Wes was a mentor to so many young men who were starting their own businesses and helped many to find their way and was a second father to many. If you needed it, he would have it for you. He loved his town and all the characters in it, as he was one too. He loved his Fords but most of all he loved his family and was happiest when they were around. He was so proud of every one of them. Though he struggled with his aging and overworked body, he would be quick to say, "But rather than that, I'm doing alright." He was the best Dad and Poppa. Wesley was loved by so many and will be missed terribly.
He is survived by his wife, Barbara; four children, Wesley Bowman, Jr., Nancy Duff, Susan Henshaw and her husband Todd, and Gary Bowman and his wife, Kim; eight siblings, June Emerson, Nancy Borden, Warren Bowman, Joyce Gagnon, Joan Garib, Frank Bowman, Sandra Dittoe, and David Bowman; ten grandchildren, Mitchell Duff, Wesley Bowman, III, Timothy Bowman, Marissa Donovan, Rachael Sweet, Mary-Louise Duff, TJ Henshaw, Matthew (Joe) Duff, Mason Henshaw, and John Bowman; five great-grandchildren, Colin Sweet, Travis Sweet, Chase Bowman, Caleb Bowman, and Daisy Louise Donovan; and numerous nieces, nephews, and extended family friends.

Suellen graduated from Fairhaven High School and Westfield State University with a Bachelor's degree in elementary education. She landed her first teaching position on her twenty-first birthday.
Suellen taught school in Granby, Connecticut for four years before moving home to teach in Mattapoisett. She bought her home in 1973 and started teaching at the Center School. Later she transferred to Old Hammondtown School and taught grades 4 and 5 there for many years. After retiring, she served many students at Old Rochester Regional Junior High School as a long-term substitute teacher and private tutor. Mattapoisett has always been known for its dynamic school system and Suellen always felt blessed to be a part of maintaining that excellence. She also cherished her friendships with many former students and co-workers.
Aside from teaching, she was also a food server for thirty years. She enjoyed serving her customers at Mildred's Chowder House in Hyannis, the Skipper Restaurant in Fairhaven, and Louie's on the Wharf in New Bedford. Her last restaurant gig was at Matt's Courtyard Restaurant in Fairhaven, where she retired from in 2009.
Suellen also served her town of Mattapoisett as a deputy shellfish warden for five years.
In her younger days, she enjoyed playing tennis, skiing, gardening, and relaxing at the beach. Later in life, her passions turned to being an avid golfer, traveler, and reader. She was a member of the ladies' golf leagues at Rochester Golf Course and Acushnet River Valley Golf Course for years. She made many great memories and friends.
She and Richard were Diamond members on the Royal Caribbean Cruise Line. They spent as much time as possible cruising in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, and throughout Hawaii. She also enjoyed immensely her vacation months with Richard in The Villages, Florida. She was known for being a very sociable person and was loved by many.

Suellen is survived by her beloved Richard, her aunt, Marjorie Kidd, and her very close cousins, June and Bill Dumas, Kellie Dumas Cain, and Robert Dumas.

Anne Braitmayer Webb
Oct 06, 2021 |
Anne Braitmayer Webb, of Marion, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Wednesday, October 6th, 2021. Born in New York City to Otto E. Braitmayer and Marian Schoeffel Braitmayer on February 2nd, 1930, Anne was raised in Marion, MA. She graduated from Vassar College in 1952, and then went to work for the W. D. Busch Company in NYC, where she became reacquainted with her future husband, Richard Davis "Dick" Webb. Anne and Dick were married in January 1954 and settled in Greenwich, CT.
An avid sailor, Anne loved racing Herreshoff 12's on Buzzards Bay in her youth, and cruising and day-sailing throughout her life. With a sharp and curious mind, she was a voracious reader who never stopped learning, and the Sunday crossword was never far from her lap. She loved a good joke and a quick wit and loved to entertain and be entertained. Anne was forever gracious, and her welcoming smile was known by friends and family alike.
From the outset, Anne and Dick split their time between Greenwich and Southern Pines, NC, where Dick was an avid equestrian. As retirement loomed, they transitioned away from Greenwich to Marion. The two had the opportunity to travel regularly, and Anne loved seeing new places, and experiencing new cultures.
Anne was passionate about the communities she lived in and was supportive of many causes. In Marion she was a longtime member of the Beverly Yacht Club, an ardent supporter of the V.A.S.E. program at Sippican School, and a trustee of the Braitmayer Foundation. In Greenwich she was president of the Community Answers Program at the Greenwich Library and served on the Conservation Commission. In Southern Pines she was a trustee of The O'Neal School.
Anne is survived by her beloved husband Dick and her two children, R. Davis Webb, Jr. (Jennifer) and Nancy Webb Corkery (David); three grandchildren, Kevin Corkery (Lucie), Kyle Corkery, and Audrey Webb; and one great-grandson, William Webb Corkery. She is also survived by her twin brother John W. "Jack" Braitmayer (Nancy) and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her four sisters, Margaret Braitmayer West, Kathleen Braitmayer Shaw, Josephine Braitmayer Demarest and Jane Braitmayer Howell Smithers.
A celebration of Anne's life is being planned. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Marion Art Center or the Elizabeth Taber Library in Marion, MA.
Her Celebration of Life will be held on Wednesday, October 20th at 4 PM at the Beverly Yacht Club, 99 Water St., Marion. Arrangements are with the Saunders-Dwyer Mattapoisett Home for Funerals, 50 County Rd. (Rt. 6), Mattapoisett. For directions and guestbook, visit www.saundersdwyer.com.
