Mary Dempsey Spillane

Mary Dempsey Spillane passed away suddenly and peacefully on Thursday, September 17, 2020 at Spring Grove Nursing Facility in New Providence, NJ. She was 93 years old. She was a lifelong resident of Union, NJ.

In her early years, she proudly worked her father’s farm, The Gallini Farm in the Township of Union, NJ. The Gallini farm was well known in its day and remained the last working farm in Union. It was well known for growing pansies.

In her later years, Mary went on to work at Lofts Candy Company in Union, and Union Center National Bank until her retirement.

Anyone who met or knew Mary was quick to learn that she wasn’t one to mince words or soften her statements in any way. Most conversations, even with strangers, would include the question “Do you know how old I am?”

Mary will be missed dearly by her loving family. She leaves behind her 2 loving sons Joseph Dempsey of Union and Greg (Patti) Dempsey of Berkeley Heights. She was predeceased by daughter in law, Elaine Dempsey. She also leaves behind her 5 grandchildren. Corie Meyers, Krissy (Mark)D’Andrea, Matthew (Dan)Dempsey, Stacey (Vinny)Imbimbo, and Gregory Dempsey. She was also blessed with 7 great grandchildren, Julia, Emily and Ella Myers, Taylor and Christian D’Andrea, and Ryan and Matthew Imbimbo.
