We were blessed to learn countless pearls of wisdom from our mother especially “the less said the better” and “listen”. She was an avid church goer with unwavering faith. Mom was born in Co. Cavan, Ireland to Annie and James Reilly and the eldest of 8 siblings.

Her lonely emigration to New York soon changed when she married Martin Deane and raised her family. She is survived by her 3 children, 7 grandchildren, 5 great grandchildren and many cherished friends who gave us all support during her illness and death on July 5, 2018.
