Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The Spirit of Hanover Community Service Award Committee is pleased to
announce that the 2023 Spirit of Hanover Community Service Award recipient
Mary Anne Cirino will be honored at a reception to be held on Sunday, April
30, 2023. The community is invited to attend.
Please join the Spirit of Hanover Community Service Award Committee, Mary
Anne, and her family and friends for this reception in Mary Anne’s honor
at the Hanover Senior Center, located at 665 Center Street in Hanover from
1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, April 30th, 2023. A light luncheon will
be served.
Born and raised on the North Shore, Mary Anne went to Massachusetts General
Hospital School of Nursing and was the president of her class when she
graduated with her R.N. in 1964. She married Bob in 1965 and they began
raising their daughters Julie, Kristine and Susanne in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania while Bob was in the Navy. Ever flexible, Mary Anne worked in
the OR, on a Med. Surg. floor, and in an ICU during that time.
Mary Anne and Bob built their house in Hanover in 1975 after Bob was
stationed at the South Weymouth Naval Air Station. Early on, Mary Anne was
a Girl Scout leader in Hanover for ten years. Mary Anne simultaneously
initially worked in pediatrics at the South Shore Medical Center for nine
years and was a part of the initial success of that growing practice that
was founded by local Hanover and Norwell doctors. She became active in the
Hanover Woman’s Club Jrs. in the early 1980’s and went on to become
their President in 1990. Thanks to her leadership, and the support of so
many others, the Woman’s Club and the Hanover five churches founded the
Hanover Food Pantry during her tenure as President. In the meantime, in
1987, Mary Anne took a job in a then relatively new field with Commonwealth
Hematology and Oncology and remained an oncology nurse for the rest of her
career until her retirement in 2016. Mary Anne remains active in the
Woman’s Club, Jrs. as she has been for the past 4 decades, and with the
Hanover Food Pantry for the past 3 decades. She joined the Walnut Hill
Garden Club in 2011 and wishes that she joined earlier! Additionally, Mary
Anne serves the Alumni Association of the Massachusetts General Hospital
School of Nursing as her Class Agent.
The Spirit of Hanover Community Service Award is presented to an individual
who best exemplifies the spirit of Hanover by voluntarily giving selflessly
of their time, energy and talent to the Town and its citizens thus
enriching our lives, fostering a true sense of community and inspiring us
all to a higher level of service.

Barker (-Kemp), Mr. Richard “Dick” Eaton, Mrs. Jean Migre, Mrs. Lois
Van Doren, Mr. John Thomson, Mrs. Barbara Itz, Ms. Catherine

A. Leslie, Sr., Mrs. Judy Grecco, Mr. James Gallant, Mr. Ray Miller, and

Receipt of the Award is commemorated by this reception and by having the
