Nancy A. Reilly

Nancy A Reilly, 90 passed away unexpectedly on November 26, 2025 at Hartford Hospital. She was born on June 9, 1935 in Brooklyn, New York, the daughter of George and Betty (Raleigh) Clough. Nancy graduated from Fort Hamilton High School Class, of 1953. After receiving her certification from the Katherine Gibbs school, she went to work for Cadence Records, where she proudly worked with such legendary performers as Andy Williams, among others. In early 1957, she married Raymond Reilly, and they celebrated 68 years of marriage this past April. After leaving Cadence Records, she went to work for, and with, one of her best friends, owner of the iconic Bay Ridge gift store, "The Hutch," and worked there for over 40 years until her retirement.
Nancy loved Broadway shows, especially "A Chorus Line" and "Phantom of the Opera," the music of Andy Williams and Bobby Darren, "White Christmas," and "Elouise." She loved holidays, and pretty much anything that came from a good cheese shop or bakery. But mostly she loved her family, and her grandchildren and great-grandchildren were her pride and joy.
