Mary (Tully) Gallahue
Our beloved mother and grandmother, Mary Gallahue, departed her loving family on June 4th, 2024 surrounded by her loved ones. She was 95 years old.
Mary was born in County Sligo, Ireland on January 7th, 1929 to Helena and Thomas Tully.
She was the eldest sister to Una, Jim, Tom, Helen, Joe and Rita.
Mary was the heart and soul of our home and family. She was the loving mother to Edmund (Laura), Mary (Keith), Kathleen (Mike), Helena (Tom), Rita (Eddie), Sean (Laurie) and Patricia (Rich). She raised her children with love and devotion in Brooklyn, NY with her husband of 52 years, John Gallahue.
Mary is survived by her children, their spouses/partners and grandchildren: Meghan (Peter), Caitlin (Andrew), Lauren (Paul), Sean, John Murphy, Brian (Amanda), Fiona, Nora, Emma, Thomas, Haley, Niamh, Sophia, John, Ean, Aidan, Jack, Helena, and AvaGrace.
It is undeniable that Mary loved children and feeding people. Mary helped raise many of her grandchildren, in addition to babysitting for over 80 neighborhood kids. When she wasn’t watching after children, Mary routinely produced wonderful meals and delicious desserts for her loud and lively household.
Mary was known for her beautiful smile, practical advice and warm hugs. She will be dearly missed.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests those who wish to express sympathy to consider making a donation to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital or World Central Kitchen in Mary’s name.
