Sharon Lee Daly

Sharon’s loving spirit and quiet beauty touched many, many lives. She was a devoted wife, mother and sister and cherished family above all else. But her heart was big enough that she had room for deep friendships as well as profound connections with the patients she saw in her private practice as a clinical psychologist. From her time as a young girl growing up in North Tarrytown, her boundless passion for theatre, art, music and literature richly filled her days, and travel to Europe and North Africa as a teenager fed her sense of adventure. In more recent years, peaceful evening walks, whether in her Manhattan neighborhood or along her favorite Cape May beach, brought her joy.

Sharon graduated from Sleepy Hollow High School in 1976 and then from Vassar College in 1980. She earned a Master’s in Psychology from NYU, and then another Master’s as well as a PhD from Fordham University. Sharon began her career as a social worker for Catholic Home Bureau and then was a practicing Psychologist in New York City for 25 years.

Sharon is survived by her husband Harry, her children Kiera and Liam and her sister Carol. Her family also included her nephews, brother-in-law, sisters-in-law and many cousins. She was preceded in death by her loving parents William and Barbara Daly and her sister Nancy.
