Kathleen Reilly Obituary

REILLY , KATHLEEN M.
of Sarasota, FL passed away peacefully on September 7, 2018 at Tidewell Hospice, surrounded by her loving family. She is survived by her husband of 43 years Michael G. Reilly and a very special Kelley E Hewes. Kathleen was born January 22, 1949 in Providence, RI to the late Edward Zeller and Virginia Aptt Zeller. She married the love of her life Michael on November 9, 1975 and they settled in Cranston, RI. Kathy enjoyed a 35 year career working for the state of Rhode Island Library Services before retiring to Sarasota FL in 2004. Kathy was someone that if you had the pleasure of meeting, you would never forget. She had an incredible heart, caring, compassionate, grateful, generous, charismatic and beautiful, inside and out. She had a smile that lit up a room, a wicked sense of humor and a laugh that lifted your soul. Kathy treasured her time with her husband Michael, family and friends, cruising, cooking and entertaining. Kathy was our queen of courage. Services will be private. Brown & Sons Funeral Homes & Crematory 26th Street Chapel, 5624 26th Street West, Bradenton, FL 34207, is in charge.
