The Manhattan fashion executive killed by a great white shark in Maine retired from her successful career four years ago and hoped to spend her days staying active and spending time with her family, a longtime colleague told the Daily News.
"She had a great career. She had it all," Julie Dimperio Holowach's longtime boss and colleague Karen Murray told The News.
The 63-year-old Manhattanite was vacationing in Maine and swimming in the Casco Bay off Bailey Island Monday afternoon when the shark mauled her in front of her daughter.

Absolutely beautiful area. I lived near there, and on a Saturday or Sunday I’d take a drive through Bailey Island just for the scenery.
If you drive to the store you are taking on more danger than she did swimming there. Living life, especially in a fulsome way, is dangerous.
One could just stay at home, but lightning could strike you anyway, which happened to a friend of mine.
It was the first recorded shark attack in Maine’s history.
Correction, first FATAL shark attack.
But the burning question is.....
What info did she have on Hilary Clinton?
People out in the water with close family are practicing social distancing. They don’t deserve condemnation for arrogance or hypocrisy even if they are minor celebrities or have money.
Who expects a shark attack in Maine?
She wasn’t bad looking either...
LOL.
Just saw your post, after I posted same ;-)
Don’t go near the water
I think I was staying in a cheesy motel down near the water since we were going to an air show the next day. We were partying, and someone burst in saying excitedly “Hey, they caught a huge great white shark and are cutting it up on the pier, so we all jumped up and ran down the street, but by the time we got there, only the jaws and fins remained.
The Quonset Air Museum down there is pretty good, too.
This is clearly a racist construction attaching white privilege to a species of shark. Calling, Black Sharks Matter (BSM).
I was born at the NAS Quonset Point hospital in 1953.
Actually Scuba Diving is pretty safe from sharks.
Its floundering on the surface near seals-prey which will get you in trouble.
I know of thousands of divers who have dove the Red Triangle in CA and who have never even seen a Great White.
I saw one on from the shore following a Grey Whale
Now diving the Farallon Islands off SF...that is a different story.
Probably one of the most dangerous places on the West Coast for White Sharks.
The Quonset Air Museum is now gone, unfortunately.
Damn! I didn’t know that-seems like just within the past few years I went, but it have been gone for at least five years. Crap.
