Dolores Reilly, 86, of Lancaster passed away December 23, 2016 at Brethren Village. Hospice & Community Care helped to provide a peaceful passing.

Born and raised in New York City, she raised her own family in Paoli, PA and settled in Lancaster after her husband passed 23 years ago. She never lost her New York accent and loved to reminisce about her New York Days including Macy's Day Parades, New Year's Eves in Times Square, Jones Beach and working at MetLife in Manhattan.

A homemaker most of her life, she loved home decorating projects, quilting, crocheting, sewing, jigsaw puzzles, gardening, and sharing her talents with her children and grandchildren. Whether on beach vacations in Stone Harbor or in her own home, Dolores valued spending time with her family above all else.

She will lovingly be remembered by her five children (Patricia Fosbenner of Chester Springs, PA, Kevin Reilly of Highlands Ranch, CO, Maureen Hepp of Ephrata, PA, Timothy Reilly of West Chester, PA, Kathleen Landis of Lancaster, PA) and 12 grandchildren, all of whom she was deeply proud.

Dolores was a member of Saint John Neumann Catholic Church, where she devoted many hours sharing her craft and sewing talents to benefit her church. She was a member of the Saint John Neumann Christmas craft bazaar committee for 20 years and also served on the funeral luncheon committee.

Friends will be received by her family on Saturday, January 21, 2017 from 9:30-10:30AM at St. John Neumann Catholic Church, 601 E. Delp Rd., Lancaster, PA with the Mass to follow at 10:30AM. All are welcome to attend a funeral luncheon in the social hall after mass. Interment at 1:30PM at St. Joseph New Catholic Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, please make contributions in Dolores' memory to Hospice & Community Care, 685 Good Drive, Box 4125, Lancaster, PA 17604- 4125 www.hospiceconnect.org/give .
