Susan Fisher Haag Of Sag Harbor Dies April 12

Susan Fisher Haag, loving wife to Larry Haag and beloved friend to many, died in Sag Harbor on April 12, after a brave and courageous battle with ovarian cancer, her family said.

A talented painter, graphic designer, cook, lover of life, dedicated friend and compassionate volunteer, according to family, Ms. Haag brought beauty and vibrancy to everything she undertook and everyone she loved.

Born in 1963 in Manhattan to Annette and Gerald Fisher, Ms. Haag was raised in Scarsdale, and graduated from New Rochelle High School. She received a bachelor of fine arts degree in painting and printmaking from Parsons School of Design/The New School, and an master of fine arts in painting from Yale University.

Ms. Haag was the owner/founder of juice DESIGN, where she worked with clients and organizations such as The Madoo Conservancy and Park East Synagogue and Day School. She was a member of the Wellness in the Schools Board of Directors, and since 2016 helped to plan and secure sponsorship for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance’s annual cycle benefit.

To know her was to be captivated by her charm, her social panache, her eye for detail and beauty, and her unflagging sense of humor, her family said. She was endlessly curious about people and the world, an avid reader, and an independent thinker. She was a passionate and vivid person in both her relationships and her ideas.

She is survived by her adoring husband, Lawrence W. Haag of Sag Harbor; her stepchildren, Lauren and Brendan Haag; her brother, Steven Fisher; her uncle, Mort Brond; and her cousins Karen Weinburg and David Brond; and a far-ranging and loving circle of friends and extended family. She delighted in and adored her dog, Suki.

Mr. and Ms. Haag spent many happy weekends and summers in Sag Harbor and eventually made the village their permanent home in 2018, enjoying all facets of East End life: local friendships, yoga practice, the public library, and the beauty and tranquility of the beach and the environment, her family noted.

Ms. Haag lived with a spirit that moved her forward as if she had no limitations, family said, and she was an inspiration to all who knew her and she will be missed, celebrated, and never forgotten.

In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to the Ovarian Cancer Research Alliance (ocrahope.org) and the Center for Therapeutic Riding of the East End (ctreeny.org) in Ms. Haag’s name.
