Mary Ann Donaghy, owner of the Bookworm in Bernardsville, N.J., died last Tuesday, August 15. She was 79.
After a two-decade career in publishing, Donaghy fulfilled her dream of owning a bookstore by buying the Bookworm in 1985. "Over the next 38 years, she did what she loved--sharing the joy of reading with her customers. She made many friends through the Bookworm and participated in the community as a board member of the Chamber of Commerce and by donating to many local causes. The Bookworm was her favorite place to be and she made many people feel the same way."
The store said, "We will continue to keep her memory alive by lovingly caring for her dream of an independent, community bookstore. She treasured her relationships with our wonderful, supportive customers."
