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.

Born on September 9, 1946, in New York City, she was a proud New Yorker through and through. Linda earned her undergraduate degree from City College of New York and her master’s degree from Columbia University, before going on to build the Baylis-Mallia Group. Linda approached life with curiosity and style. She loved traveling the world, exploring New York City’s newest galleries and restaurants, and, of course, shopping at Bloomingdale’s.

Jacqueline (Niego) Turner of Manhattan, New York, passed away peacefully on January 27, 2026, at the age of 88. Born on March 4, 1937, in the Bronx, she was the beloved daughter of Olga and Joseph Niego. A proud New Yorker through and through, Jacqueline built a life defined by devotion—to her family, her faith, and her work. After graduating from Cathedral High School in New York City, she spent over three decades serving the United States Government with dedication and professionalism before continuing her career in the private sector with more than two decades at Bristol Myers Squibb. Her strong work ethic and commitment to excellence earned her the respect of colleagues across the years. In 1994, Jacqueline married Nicholas Turner, with whom she shared a deep faith and a love of dancing until his passing. Together, they made their home in Manhattan, where Jacqueline lived for the remainder of her life. Jacqueline was a lifelong and active member of the Catholic Church, serving faithfully as a lector for many decades. Her voice, presence, and reverence were well known and cherished within her parish community. Outside of work and church, Jacqueline was an avid New York Yankees fan, and she found great joy in ballroom dancing— a passion that brought her friendship and movement. Jacqueline is survived by her loving sister, Maureen Selskis, and by her many nieces and nephews: Joseph Niego, Michael Niego, James Niego, Kathleen Lawson, Patrick Callahan, Jeanne Confehr, Jacqueline Selskis, Mary Carney, and Albert Selskis. She was a devoted and cherished aunt, great-aunt, and great-great-aunt, and she leaves behind many great-nieces and great-nephews and great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews who will forever hold her memory close. She is preceded in death by her siblings Joseph Niego, Nora Niego and Victoria Callahan, whom she loved dearly. Jacqueline will be remembered as a devoted wife, daughter, sister, aunt, great-aunt, and great-great-aunt; a woman of faith; a loyal friend; and a true New Yorker who will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
