Irving Jay Segall

Irving Jay Segall, age 75, passed away on Thursday, April 10, 2025, at the Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital in Needham, Massachusetts, with his loving family by his side. Born in New Bedford, Massachusetts on December 13, 1949, he was the son of the late Samson and MaryAnn (Steiner) Segall. Irving was raised in New Bedford, where he graduated from New Bedford High School with the Class of 1967. Following his graduation, he enrolled in courses at Bryant College in Providence, earning a bachelor's degree in 1971.

Irving married his beloved wife, Mary Louise Winn, on October 2, 1971. Together the young couple made their home in New Bedford, welcoming two girls, Ann-Marie and Rachel. As a young Dad, Irving enjoyed taking his girls to the New Bedford Airport, watching the various small planes take off and land. Over the years, Irving worked various jobs around the New Bedford area, including working alongside his father and managing Sunny Brook Farms. In 1992, Irving began his career with the United States Postal Service, first as a clerk in Providence before taking a position as a mail handler in the New Bedford office. He retired in 2006, after fourteen years of dedicated service.

After the untimely passing of his wife, Mary, Irving stepped back into the world of dating, reaching out to a group that was organizing a singles dinner in Canton. It was during this evening out that he met Barbara A. Mann. In 2008, Irving left his hometown of New Bedford, settling in Norwood to be with his beloved Barbara. Irving and Barbara loved spending time together, whether going out to various restaurants, watching movies, or visiting family. They also enjoyed taking many vacations with each other.
