Elizabeth "Lily" McNamara
September 7, 1940 - January 17, 2021
Elizabeth McNamara, born Elizabeth Gaffney, was the 8th child of thirteen, born to James and Bridget Gaffney. A quiet hard-working child, you would find her at her mother’s side on beloved Moore Street. As a young woman, she pursued her dream of emigrating to America where she met the love of her life, Jimmy. Together they lived and enjoyed life, spending time with one another and their son Sean. Lily was always quick with a song and ready to bake a soda bread. In her later years she found great peace and joy in spending time with her sister and her grand nephews. She was able to visit Ireland last year and enjoyed time with her brothers, sisters, nieces, and nephews and loved partaking in a good Irish sing-song with the family. She will be missed by us all. Lily’s celebration of life memorial ceremony, with Father Miles Barrett presiding, will be held on Monday, January 25th, at 11am in the Spilker Funeral Home, Cape May, NJ and can be attended via livestream only. The livestream will be active and accessible on Monday at 10:45am (Cape May, NJ time) and 3:45pm (Ireland time).
