Elizabeth Josephine (Lizzy Joe) Early (née Feeney), passed away peacefully on Saturday, December 21st, 2024.
Devoted wife to Edward, loving mother to Clare (Robert), Maureen, Christine (Seamus), Tara (Andrew), Erin (Jason) and Eamon (Kate). An adoring grandmother to Kerry, Brianna, Nicholas (Sarah), RJ, Casey, Timothy, Madeline, Grace, Olivia, Catherine, Snow, Prudence and Nieve.
Lizzy was born in Drumkeerin, County Leitrim, Ireland. As a young woman she traveled by boat to America and was overwhelmed by the sight of all the cars and the hustle and bustle of NYC. She traveled this great country visiting family in Chicago, and working in Florida, before she returned to NYC and embraced the hustle and bustle. She worked in various roles as a waitress/server at Stouffers on the top of the 6’s, O’Lunney’s, the Colony and Cosmopolitan Clubs, among others. She also worked as a Home Health Aide, and as a hair assistant in Yonkers. And don’t forget raising 6 children, while taking care of her husband and home.
Lizzy loved spending time with her family at Arrowhead Lake in the Poconos and in the Irish Alps of East Durham, NY, as well as visiting her children’s homes in Long Island, Pelham and Connecticut. She was also a surrogate mom to her children’s many friends and loved welcoming them into her home and heart.
Lizzy met the love of her life, Edward (Ballygalley, Tyrone, Ireland), at the Jäeger House in Manhattan. He somehow managed to get her to propose to him and they were married at the Holy Spirit Church in the Bronx on May 6th, 1967. Their love grew over the next 57 years, while they had 6 children, added 5 spouses to those children and 13 grandchildren, with their first great-grandchild happily coming this April. Lizzy and Ed briefly retired to Woodlawn before returning to Manhattan to remain close to their children.
