Death Notices (11/16/02)
REILLY, Lena Mary (nee Turpin) Lena Mary Reilly passed away peacefully on
Friday, November 15, 2002 in the care of Barbara Riffin at the Ottawa Valley
Special Care Residence. Lena had struggled valiantly with Alzheimer's
disease for the past seven years. A life in service of others has sadly come
to an end and the many people she touched will sadly miss her but her spirit
of giving lives on in her children. Born and raised in the small
Newfoundland town of St. Lawrence, Lena left her home and family to pursue a
nursing career that took her to distant locations like Sioux Lookout where
serving others was more important than glamorous surroundings or a lush
lifestyle. She eventually found her way to Montreal, where she met John
Joseph Reilly while tending to his ailing Father. The two fell in love and
married on April 30, 1960. Five exuberant, frenetic children would soon fill
her life with a myriad of joys and challenges. A pillar of strength Lena
dedicated her life to raising her five children while constantly moving
across the country on a never-ending adventure courtesy of Canada's Armed
Forces. She eventually settled in Ottawa in 1978 and grew to love her
newfound home. As her children grew and gained independence Lena channelled
her energy and her passion for service to the Pastoral Care Service at
Riverside Hospital until Alzheimer's made it impossible for her to continue.
Her never-ending love for children was always exhibited in her devotion to
her two grandchildren, Simon and Sophie. Lena is survived by her husband
John and her five children, Joseph (Beth Green), John (Kim O'Leary), Mary,
James (Misty Cloud) and Patricia (Sean Smith) and her two grandchildren
Simon and Sophie. Visitation will take place on Monday from 2 - 4 p.m. and
7 - 9 p.m. at Whelan Funeral Home, 515 Cooper Street (between Bay and Lyon)
in Ottawa. The funeral will take place on Tuesday, November 19th at 11 a.m.
at the Church of the Resurrection of Our Lord, 1940 Saunderson Drive in
Ottawa. Interment Hope Cemetery. If you're thinking of sending flowers Lena
might say "Don't be so foolish" instead consider sending donations to the
Alzheimer's Society of Ottawa, 1750 Russell Road, Suite 1742, Ottawa,
Ontario K1G 5Z6 (Re: Lena Reilly).
