Obituary for Eleanor "Gay" Holderried (O'Neill)
Of Medfield, passed away Friday afternoon, August 12, 2022, while in care at the Thomas Upham House of Medfield. She was 79 years old.
Gay was a very hard worker and a very talented Artist. Many people have her art pieces in their home. She had worked as a Bookkeeper, Home Health Aide, and was a great Cook and Housekeeper, and she was very talented with sewing and needlework.
Gay was born December 8, 1942 to George and Dorothy (Barnard) O’Neill. She grew up in Roslindale and Norwood and has lived in Medfield with her loving husband, Leo for 57 years. She had survived 50 years with Multiple Sclerosis and never lost her determination to do her best at everything in life. She always had a smile for everyone and was always interested in whatever they were doing.
Gay is also survived by her three precious daughters Susan Fraser and her husband Bob, Kathy Denson and her husband Jaime, and Donna O’Connell and her husband Byron. She was proud to be a grandmother of 7: Steven, James, Amanda, Kelsie, Colleen, B.K. and Patrick, and Great Grandmother of 3: Camden, Caiden and Rose, and many nieces and nephews and her lifelong friend Elaine Williams who was like a sister. She was a wonderful wife, mother and Nana. She was sadly predeceased by her brother Jim O’Neill.
There will be a Funeral Service for Gay on Wednesday, August 17, 2022, 12:00 PM, at Roberts Mitchell Caruso Funeral Home, 15 Miller St., Medfield, MA 02052, followed by interment at Vine Lake Cemetery. Visiting hours will precede the service from 10:00 AM until Noon.
