HADLEY- It is with heavy hearts that we share that our beloved mother, Dorothy O’Reilly, of South Shore Road, and known to many as “Bobo”, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, March 31, 2026 at the age of 96.
Dorothy was born on August 27, 1929 in Brooklyn, NY, the only daughter of the late Philomena (nee Ciccone) and Frank Gissi. She spent her early childhood in Brooklyn until her family relocated to Brentwood, NY, where Dorothy attended and graduated from the Academy of St. Joseph.
After graduating, Dorothy began working for Metropolitan Insurance in New York City. At the end of the work day, she would often walk her best friend, Angie, to the New Jersey transit line of Penn Station.
It was here that she met her husband James “Jim” O’Reilly, who worked for the New Jersey railroad at the time. After their first meeting, Jim, who lived in New Jersey, would sometimes ride the LIRR with Dorothy just to spend time with her, before returning to Penn Station.
Dorothy and Jim married on November 21, 1953 and welcomed their first child in October of 1954. Soon after, the couple bought their family home in Bay Shore, NY where they would go on to have and raise five more children.
In 1968, they purchased their beloved summer camp on the Great Sacandaga Lake and joined the Overlook Beach Club community. Dorothy spent a total of 57 summers at the lake, and even served a term as president of the Overlook Beach Club.
Dorothy and Jim would eventually retire to Overlook - though often escaping the harsh winters by traveling the country to visit their many children and great-grandchildren. They remained married for 55 years, until Jim’s passing in 2009. In 2015, Dorothy moved to Plattsburgh, NY to live with her daughter, Sharon, where she remained until her passing.
Dorothy’s faith was very important to her. A devout Catholic, she was a member of the Third Order of Saint Francis. She was a member of the Holy Rosary for many years and also served the church as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion. She also attended Holy Infancy of Lake Luzerne and then Holy Mother and Child Parish of Corinth for many years.
Besides her beloved husband, Jim, and her parents, she was also predeceased by her son, Jimmy, and her three brothers, Joseph, Alfred, and Richard.
She will be deeply missed by her children and their spouses, Kathleen (John), Robin (Michael), Michael (Laurie), Tricia (Stephen), and Sharon (Craig); her 13 grandchildren, Jonathan, Katie (Mario), Mike, Maggie, Lucas, Rachel, Tricia, Adam, Emily, Olivia, Cheryl, Stephen, and Derek; and her great-grandson, Enrique, and his sister, Melanie, and brother, Mario Jr.; and she was also the cherished aunt to three nephews, Alfred (Christine), Kenny, and Joseph, as well as many great-nieces and nephews.
Friends and family may call from 3-7 p.m., Monday, April 6th and from 10-11 a.m., Tuesday, April 7th at the Densmore Funeral Home, Inc., 7 Sherman Ave., Corinth.
A Funeral Mass will be held at Noon on Tuesday, April 7th, 2026 at Holy Mother and Child Parish, 405 Palmer Avenue, Corinth, with Father Kenneth Swain officiating.
