When the brash and beloved former mayor of New York City Edward Koch passed away last month, there was a question of who would inherit the lifelong bachelor's sizable wealth. News outlets are now reporting that Koch has left millions to his sister's three sons, and smaller but still generous gifts to his brother's widow, and his brother's children. But one non-family member also made the list of beneficiaries: Koch's secretary of nearly four decades, Mary Garrigan (pictured with Koch).

Garrigan, 63, who was hired to work as a secretary for Koch's Congressional office in 1975, will receive $100,000.
