Joan A. "Tootsie" (Larkin) Haggerty, 85, died September 25, 2021, at her home in Easton, after a brief period of failing health. She was the wife of 60 years of the late Donald W. Haggerty. Born in Boston, she was raised and educated in Jamaica Plain and was a graduate of Boston Schools. She later continued her education and became a Certified Nursing Aide. Mrs. Haggerty was a resident of Easton for over 40 years. She worked at the former Cardinal Cushing Hospital in Brockton for over 20 years, retiring in 1979. She was an avid bingo player and was very active in the set up and operation of bingo at the Ahavath Torah Congregation in Stoughton for several years. She enjoyed reading, puzzles and those that knew her well, knew not to bother her when Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune were on. She had a special love of decorating for Christmas, spending time with her husband on Lido Beach in Longboat Key and, most especially, spending time with her beloved family.

Tootsie is survived by her children; Donna M. Gwynn and her husband Richard Ohrenberger of Attleboro, Debra A. Gaultier and her husband Daniel of Raynham and Donald W. Haggerty, Jr. and his fiancé Cynthia Moore of FL. She was the sister of Linda Breen of Stoughton.
