Eileen O'Gorman Obituary
It is with deep love and sorrow that we announce the passing of Eileen O’Gorman, 68, who left this world on August 17, 2025. A proud native of New York, she later retired in North Carolina, where she enjoyed her later years surrounded by family, friends, and her beloved dog, Charlie.
Eileen was preceded in death by her parents, Maurice and Ann; her brothers, Tom and Jimmy; and her husband, David.
She is survived by her daughter, Christine; her son, Nicholas, and daughter-in-law, Priscilla; her cherished grandchildren, Jaxson, Chloe, and Alyssa; her brother, Tim; her sister, Carleen, and brother-in-law, Rich. She also leaves behind extended relatives, dear friends, and a lifetime of treasured memories.
Eileen found joy in traveling, spending time with her grandchildren, and sharing companionship with Charlie. Her laughter, love, and caring spirit will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
The family will be holding a private ceremony in her honor.
Her legacy of love and family will remain in our hearts forever.
