Susan Harrigan, a former business reporter at Newsday, died on March 23 at the age of 78.
Jennifer Fauci of Newsday writes, “From 1986 to 2011, Harrigan was a reporter for the business sections of New York Newsday and then Newsday.
“Her husband recalled one particular story she wrote: ‘It was about a New York State unemployment judge who had awarded herself unemployment for damaging her voice during her career, but then retired and went on to be a professional singer,’ he said.
“Her daughter shared that many memories she has of her mother centered around Newsday, as she often spent days in the office as a child.
“‘She would just let me spread out in an office and amuse myself during the workday. I knew all of her colleagues and I loved to go to the book review department and help myself to as many books as I wanted,’ said White Benjaminson.”
