Patricia "Patsy" O'Reilly passed away unexpectedly at home on July 24, 2025. She was 85 years old.

Patsy enjoyed life and doted on her family. She was a very kind, generous, and spiritual person who believed in God to the fullest. Her 50 years of church volunteering was by far her most cherished and fulfilling job. She also enjoyed sewing, cooking, dog sitting, and playing Pinochle.

Preceded in death by her parents Francis and Norah, she is survived by her beloved twin sister, Margaret Gilson, and her nieces and nephews, Michelle (Keith), Marc (the late Jill), Norine (Wayne), Olivia, and Gale (Marty). She was also a loving "Grammie" to Megan and Matthew McDerment. Patsy was preceded in death by her siblings, Julia Sobas, and Hugh and John O'Reilly.

A Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Christ Our Light Catholic Church in Troy, Wednesday, July 30, 2025, at 10:30am. Friends may visit beginning at 10am.

Memorials appreciated to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital or the 812 Young Aviators Fund, 8927 SE 72nd Ave, Ocala, Floria 34472.
