Dear Mr. Thomas Flynn,
I wanted to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to you and your entire team for the extraordinary care, professionalism, and compassion shown during Artie's funeral services.
From the very beginning, you made an incredibly difficult time feel manageable. Every detail was handled with such grace, organization, and sensitivity. We always knew what was coming next, what needed to be done, and that there was always someone available to guide us, answer questions, or offer support. That kind of reassurance meant more than words can express during such a painful time.
What stood out even more than the professionalism was the genuine care that you and your staff showed to all of Artie's Family and friends. Everyone was treated with kindness, patience, and respect. You created an environment where we could focus on honoring Artie and being together, rather than worrying about the many details that come with such a loss.
I especially wanted to recognize you personally, Mr. Flynn. I truly believe that God places certain people exactly where they are meant to be, and in your case, that could not be more true. It is clear that this work is not just a profession for you—it is a calling. Your calm presence, compassion, and leadership were remarkable, and I have honestly never seen a team work together so seamlessly and so beautifully.
Please know how much your efforts meant to all of us. You helped carry us through one of the hardest moments of our lives with dignity and care, and that will never be forgotten.
With sincere gratitude,
Maria Zambrano

2026-04-19 5 STAR REVIEW

Losing my dad this past January was one of the hardest experiences my family has ever gone through, and I truly don't know how we would have managed without the support of Flynn Funeral Home. From the very first conversation, their team treated us with such compassion, patience, and genuine care. They guided us through every step of the process with a level of professionalism that never felt cold or transactional; it always felt deeply human. During a time when everything felt overwhelming, they brought a sense of calm and reassurance that meant more than I can put into words. They honored my dad in such a thoughtful and respectful way, paying attention to the small details that made the services feel personal and meaningful. It was clear that they weren't just doing a job; they truly cared about our family and about celebrating my dad's life. I am incredibly grateful for everything they did for us. If you are ever in need of these services, I can't recommend Flynn Funeral Home enough. They will treat you and your loved ones with dignity, kindness, and respect when you need it most.

A Five-Star Review from a lovely family, whom we have had the privilege of assisting before.

Tommy Flynn is one of the most compassionate and professional people that I know. He has provided services for multiple members of my family who have passed over the last couple of years, and he has been nothing short of excellent. I truly recommend him and his team for anything anyone needs. They have made sure every request was fulfilled, and they were always reasonably priced. They treated us like their own Family, especially during a difficult time.

Thank you, Clarissa - Tommy, Brendan, Megan, and Randy, we are always a telephone call away

Unateresa Sheahan Gormley passed away peacefully on April 10, 2026, surrounded by her loving Family and dear friends after a long and valiant battle with cancer. She leaves behind a remarkable legacy rooted in Irish tradition, community, leadership, and unwavering love.

A proud first-generation Irish American, Unateresa was born in the Bronx, New York, to her beloved parents, Teresa McNamee of Cloonelly, Co. Longford, and Michael Sheahan of Glenbeigh, Co. Kerry. She was raised in a Family deeply devoted to Irish culture, faith, and community values that shaped the course of her extraordinary life. The Sheahan Family were well-known in the Bronx for their passion for Irish dance, music, sport, and service, and Unateresa carried that legacy forward with pride.

From the age of three, Unateresa was immersed in Irish dance, training with the Anna O'Sullivan School of Irish Dance. A gifted and determined performer, she won her first open championship at just eight years old and traveled to Ireland annually to compete in feiseanna across the country. By age eleven, she had placed sixth at the Oireachtas and qualified for the World Irish Dancing Championships-an early sign of the excellence she would carry throughout her life.

Her talents extended beyond dance. Unateresa was also an accomplished musician, earning third place in violin at the Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann in Ireland and recording with the Glincastle Céilí Band under the direction of Martin Mulvihill and Mick Moloney, producers of the acclaimed program, "A Living Tradition." Dance and music were not simply pursuits-they were part of her soul.

While her achievements as a performer were extraordinary, Unateresa's greatest legacy lies in her lifelong dedication to teaching and mentoring the next generation. She began teaching at 16 and went on to work with numerous Irish cultural organizations before founding the Sheahan-Gormley School of Irish Dance, a celebrated institution that produced many accomplished and championship dancers. As a certified TCRG teacher registered nationally and with An Coimisiún in Dublin, she brought excellence, discipline, and heart to everything she did.

Unateresa had a profound love for children and young people. She possessed a rare gift for nurturing confidence, instilling pride, and inspiring a deep connection to heritage. She believed strongly in the potential of youth, often saying that their willingness to learn and grow was one of life's greatest rewards. Through her generosity, she provided many students with scholarships to travel to Ireland, where they studied Irish dance and culture firsthand- experiences that changed lives and strengthened cultural bonds for generations. Her dedication to youth extended further as the founder of Irish American Young Leaders, a program devoted to promoting Irish culture while fostering leadership, community, and global connection among young people. Through this initiative, she created opportunities for young Irish Americans to study in Ireland, including programs in Donegal, Roscommon, Limerick, and Galway.

Unateresa's impact reached far beyond the classroom. She was the CEO and Cultural Director of the Big Apple Feis & Fleadh, a Director of the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Florida Centers for the Rose of Tralee, and a proud and active member of the Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians. She served on numerous boards, including the Celtic Irish American Academy in Galway, and held leadership roles across countless Irish and cultural organizations.

In recognition of her lifelong dedication to Irish culture and community, Unateresa had the great honor of serving as the 2024 Grand Marshal of the Mid-Hudson St. Patrick's Parade, a distinction that reflected the deep respect and admiration she earned throughout her life.

She and her husband, Sam (Omagh, Co. Tyrone), were also deeply committed to humanitarian work, serving as a host family for children from Northern Ireland with Project Children, offering them respite and connection during difficult times of conflict. In later years, they continued this mission by hosting and sponsoring young adult interns from Ireland.

Unateresa's accomplishments were widely recognized. She was named a "Pinnacle Professional" by Continental Who's Who, served as an Ambassador for Tourism Ireland, and received numerous honors, including the Irish Woman of the Year Award in 2007, the Irish Echo Community Champion Award in 2017, and the 2023 Excellence in Teaching Award by Irish Dancing Magazine. She and Sam were also named "Celts of the Year" by the Greenwood Lake Gaelic Cultural Society.

After building her life in the Bronx, Unateresa and Sam made their home in beloved Greenwood Lake, where they lived for over 25 years, becoming pillars of the Hudson Valley Irish community.

Above all, Unateresa was a devoted wife to her beloved husband, Sam Gormley, and a loving and proud mother to her cherished son, Shea Anthony. Her family was her heart, and she filled their lives with love, strength, and grace.

Known for her kindness, generosity, and vibrant spirit, Unateresa had an extraordinary ability to uplift others. She lived by her belief that life's greatest purpose is to give of oneself, to open doors, to support others, and to make a difference, especially in the lives of children.

Unateresa Sheahan Gormley will be deeply missed by her loving family, her devoted students, her wide circle of friends, and the countless communities she so faithfully served. Her legacy will live on in every dancer she inspired, every young leader she mentored, and every life she touched.

May she rest in eternal peace, and may the road rise up to meet her.

Visitation will be held on Wednesday, April 15, and Thursday, April 16, 2026, from 5:00 to 8:00 P.M. at Flynn Funeral & Cremation Memorial Centers located at 139 Stage Road, Monroe, NY 10950.

A Christian burial Mass will be held on Friday, April 17, 2026, at 10:00 A.M., at Sacred Heart R.C. Church, 26 Still Road, Monroe, NY 10950.

Burial will follow at St. Anthony's Church Cemetery, located at 36 West Nyack Road, Nanuet, New York 10954.
