Jamie Gormley Obituary
Jamie was born on April 2, 1963 to the late James A. Gormley Jr. and Elinor (née Gibbons) Gormley. Jamie grew up in Montville Township, NJ and also lived in Morris Township, NJ, before moving to Lewes 5 years ago.
Jamie was a graduate of Montville Township High School and attended Lock Haven University. She played field hockey, basketball, and lacrosse at MTHS earning All-State honors along the way. Jamie was a member of the 1981 MTHS Field Hockey team that captured the Group III State title that year.
She enjoyed a long career of caring for others which began at The ARC Morris in Morris Plains, NJ where she managed a residential group home and eventually supervised The Hanover Adult Training Center. Her passion for helping others led to several opportunities in the Senior Living field. Most notably as an Executive Director of Atria Senior Living in Cranford, NJ and then as an Assisted
Living Coordinator at Sunrise Assisted Living in Morris Plains, NJ. To quote someone close to the family, "Jamie was an amazing person whose love for some of life's most vulnerable people speaks volumes to her character and soul."
She is survived by her sisters, Kathleen Stahl (Michael) of Boonton Township, NJ, Susan Hegarty (Michael) of Brussels, Belgium, Sally Dreyer (Russell) of Madison, NJ, and Maureen Gormley (fiancé, Wayne Linn). of Montville, NJ; her beloved nieces and nephews; aunts and uncles and many cousins. She will be greatly missed by her family and friends.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend her Memorial Mass at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, May 19th 2023 at St. Pius X R.C. Church, 24 Changebridge Rd, Montville, NJ. Enurnment will follow at Gate of Heaven Cemetery, 225 Ridgedale Ave, East Hanover, NJ. In lieu of flowers, please make donations in her name to Arc - Morris County Chapter NJ Inc, 1 Executive Drive, Morris Plains, NJ 07950.
For those friends and loved ones in the Lewes, DE area a celebration of life will be held at a later date.
