Supporting Mary B. McKeown – A Beach Haven Treasure

Maggie Aftanis is raising funds for Mary B. McKeown, a beloved Beach Haven native and true local icon. Born and raised right here, Mary has spent her life giving back to the community—raising her family and working in town, most recently serving friendly faces at the local 7-Eleven for over 20 years. She’s known for her warm smile, kind words, and genuine interest in everyone she meets—often asking after your kids, your dog, or how your day is going.

Last week, Mary underwent heart surgery and is now preparing for another procedure in the coming days. She will be out of work for the foreseeable future as she recovers.

We’re rallying around Mary to help ease the burden of medical expenses during this difficult time. Every donation, big or small, is a show of love and gratitude for someone who has given so much to this town. Thank you for your support.
