Elizabeth Gallagher Obituary
She is predeceased by her parents Kathleen R. and Thomas R. Gallagher, her brother Thomas Gallagher, Uncle James J. A. Gallagher, and niece Kathleen McAndrews.
Libby is survived by her brothers, James (Cathy) Gallagher of Crownsville, MD, Timothy (Loretta) Gallagher of Eastport, MD, and Mark (Kathryn) Gallagher of Hanover, MA, 15 nieces and nephews, and 20 great nieces and nephews.
Libby was a devout Catholic and doting aunt to her nieces, nephews and great nieces and nephews. She graduated from Saint Ambrose grade school Cheverly, MD, Notre Dame Academy high school, Washington, DC, and Spalding (Nazareth) College.
Libby's career at the Department of Justice spanned over 30 years serving under multiple attorney generals. Her expertise in the Office of Public Affairs as the Assistant Director earned her the outstanding service award at her 30th Anniversary.
Libby's private life served as another example of her service for others. Libby devoted her personal life to caring for her family, friends and many who were in need.
The funeral Mass will be celebrated November 12, 2025 at Sacred Heart at 11 a.m. at Sacred Heart Catholic Church Chapel, 16501 Annapolis Road, Bowie, MD; celebration of Lib's life - in her wishes - a good "Irish Wake" - will follow the funeral Mass.

Yesterday
The Doerner family and the Gallagher family lived in Cheverly, Maryland and shared many experiences. They were frequent guests in each other's homes and the kids played, schooled and prayed together at Saint Ambrose. Lib was a good friend to me and will be remembered always. Our prayers and love for the Gallagher family will endure.
