Nancy Jean Donahue (O'Reilly)

Nancy was my best friend all through high schools mom. Ashliegh was like the sister I never had. Billy and Nancy were like second parents to me. I will never forget the nights when she would cook her infamous twice baked potatoes. Still to this day nobody ever made them as good as she did. She taught my little sister who is 12 years younger than I how to count in Spanish. All the memories of walking past her bedroom and asking her what new book she reading and her giving me all the reviews of each Book. Or when she worked at Ann Taylor and would bring Ashleigh and I home whatever new perfume they were giving out to employees. These are memories I will cherish forever. My condolences to Billy, Brad, Ashliegh and John. I know she is missed and loved by everyone who knew her. Rest in peace.

Nancy was a childhood friend that I loved dearly. She was 1 of 7 girls, Nancy, Sharon, Renee, Tonya, Onna, Mary and myself. We played together and ran the neighborhood day and night, sometimes just stopping long enough to eat supper. We laughed, cried, told secrets, and did so many things together. This childhood friendship carried over into high school still having fun together, laughing, dancing, and going to parties, and doing some things that are sworn to secrecy (lol). Each of us had different personalities that played a part in creating the memories that are forever a part of our lives! We all loved Nancy very much! She was a beautiful lady, very outgoing, and outspoken! Our crazy group would not have been the same without her!! May her soul rest in peace!

We were neighbors! A bunch of girls on Victoria Drive and Woodrow Way running like little heathens through our neighborhood! Playing Volleyball, Hide n go Seek, sledding down Woodrow Way - it was a wonderful childhood and Nancy was right there in it with all of us. She was a huge part of my childhood life. My sincere condolences to have lost one of the girls! I remember when Tweetie got of his cage and hopped through some paint - then flew around the house - it was hilarious ... until Agnes got home! I love the O'Reilly girls as my sisters - my heart is with you!! Tonya Tate

I grew up with the four O'Reilly girls, they were like my sisters! I loved that Nancy had spunk and told it like it was! I'm so thankful that I got to visit her the week before she died. She always had those beautiful blue eyes! I will miss her! My thoughts and prayers are with her family and Cathy and Sharon.

So many memories of Nancy and the Oreilly´s it´s hard to pick one . Our families were so close that we had a get together every weekend called the " crowd" where the families would get together at one of the uncles , aunts homes and adults would play cards , pitch horseshoes , laugh and sing songs & drink more than a few adult beverages and make unforgettable memories that we will always have . The kids which there were many would play games and sports and just have fun of course there was always lots of food. Although we know Nancy struggled with her health and we didn´t remain as close after our parents went home to the Lord those memories will never fade or die ! Prayers for Billy & the kids and the family Love The Blevins family
