Rosann O’Reilly

Rosann O’Reilly, mother, grandmother, teacher, friend. Born July 4, 1948, returned to Christ October 27, 2010. Raised in the Bronx, Rosann shared abundant food and Yankee games with her large Italian family. Transplanted to Cincinnati, she raised two daughters and built a reputation as the tri-state’s best Computer Coordinator, expanding programs and sharing new technology tools with thousands of grateful Catholic school students and teachers. Known for her brilliant mind and unforgettable wit, she competed on Jeopardy and loved sharing trivia with friends, strangers, and even fellow cancer patients. In ‘retirement,’ Rosann led the Redmond Senior Chorus, entertained friends at her weekly card game, and was a bright light to all who knew her. She lived courageously – her body grew weak but her spirit never surrendered. Remembrances can be made to Our Lady of Grace Monastery, N. Guilford, CT, or Cardinal Spellman High School, Bronx, NY.
