The couple called Huntley home for the last 18 years. Imelda was a devoted wife, mother, and sister. She always looked forward to a visit from relatives in Ireland, and enjoyed a good bowl of potato soup. She was deeply loved by all who knew her, and will be doubly missed.
In addition to her husband, Imelda is survived by her children, Jordan Werner and Karl Werner; and her siblings, Mary (Pat) O'Donnell, Michael Reilly, Anne Reilly, John Reilly, Kathleen (Kevin) Guthrie, Patricia (Gerry) Haynes, Irene (Brendon) Dannon, Angela (Bob) Wagner, Ita Reilly, PJ (Kyle) Reilly, and Edmund (Barbara) Reilly.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Patrick and Kathleen Reilly; and her sister, Sheila (John) McGirl.

Reilly and Werner families I send my condolences to you all on Imelda´s passing. I grew up in the same village as Imelda and we went to the same primary and post primary schools. Too young to have left this world. I pray you get some comfort in your sadness by recalling all your memories of Imelda. May Imelda rest in peace.

May the road rise up to meet you
May the wind be always at your back
May the sun shine warm upon your face, and fall soft upon your fields
And until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand
Deepest Condolences Roy, Jordan and Karl

I have a happy childhood memory of Patrick Reilly who was doing building work at our house coming in one summers day and Dana playing on radio, proud and happy as any man could be telling us Kathleen had had a lovely new baby daughter called Imelda.
life can be so cruel but good people leave us with beautiful memories.
RIP Imelda.
