Claire Mahoney-Haeg

Claire Mahoney-Haeg, who lived on Springy Banks Road in East Hampton for 10 years, died at home on Monday. She was 70 and had cancer for three years.

She moved to East Hampton from Centerport in 1999 after her now-husband, Richard Haeg, moved here. They would have celebrated their ninth wedding anniversary on Sunday, but had been together about 16 years, Mr. Haeg said.

Ms. Mahoney-Haeg was born on May 18, 1944, at Huntington Hospital to David Howard Taylor and the former Elizabeth Michael. She was a graduate of Georgetown University and received her master’s degree from Hofstra University.

A language teacher, she taught Spanish for the Half Hollow Hills School District for over 20 years. She retired more than a decade ago. She was a member of the New York State Teachers Association.

After she moved to East Hampton, she became a member of the East Hampton Ladies Village Improvement Society and the Ramblers.

In addition to her husband, Ms. Mahoney-Haeg is survived by her sister, Patricia Santelli of Oyster Bay, and a stepdaughter, Kristin DeLumen of Manorville.

Visiting hours will be held at the Yardley and Pino Funeral Home in East Hampton on Monday from 7 to 9 p.m. Burial the next day will be private.
