Eileen Q. Conrad

Eileen (Quigley) Conrad, a 62 year resident of the Township of Washington, NJ, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt and friend, passed away peacefully on March 5, 2026, one month after celebrating her 91st birthday.

Eileen was born in Manhattan on February 4,1935 to her Irish immigrant parents, Bridget (Comiskey) and Thomas Quigley. Eileen was the fifth of six children and had cherished memories of growing up on 109th Street, attending Ascension School and Blessed Sacrament High School, treasuring the lifelong friendships she made there.

After moving with her family to the Kingsbridge section of the Bronx, Eileen met her future husband Raymond who lived with his family in the same building. They were married on February 1,1958 and moved to New Jersey. They ultimately settled in what turned out to be their forever home in the Township of Washington in 1964.

Eileen was the heart of her family, and her deep Catholic faith was the basis of her life. She and Ray were blessed with three daughters, and Eileen truly embraced her role as mother. She formed lasting friendships through Our Lady of Good Counsel School and her Township neighborhood. She enjoyed volunteering at her girls’ schools while also assisting with her husband’s sales business. Eileen was later blessed with five grandchildren whom she adored, and they affectionately called her Nan. They were the light of her life, and she lovingly cared for them as children and enjoyed attending their school activities and games. She took great pride in their many achievements and most especially, she was immensely proud of the kind, caring adults they became.

Eileen was also extremely proud of her Irish heritage, and Irish music was frequently heard playing in her home. She treasured family get-togethers, vacationing on Long Beach Island, traveling to Ireland with extended family, watching old movies, and routing for her NY Yankees.

Eileen will be forever missed by her husband of 68 years, Raymond, and her children Kelly Fuchs and husband Gregory, Christine Conrad, and Eileen Stevenson and husband Robert; her beloved grandchildren Suzanne (Fuchs) Coffey and husband Michael, Michael Fuchs and wife Kathleen, Kathryn and Nicholas Stathakis, Jr. and Kiera Stevenson. Eileen was blessed with two great granddaughters in 2024, Charli Rose Coffey and Rosemarie Faith Fuchs, and a third great grandchild due next month. Eileen is also survived by her sister Ann Dunne, sister-in-law Margaret Quigley, brother-in-law George Conrad and wife Marita, dearly loved nieces, nephews, their families, and cousins both here, in Ireland and the UK.

Eileen was predeceased by her parents, brothers John, Thomas and Donald Quigley, sister Kathleen Rudy, as well as her beloved son-in-law Nicholas Stathakis. Also predeceased by dear nephews Michael L. Dunne and Thomas P. Quigley.

The family will receive friends from 3-7pm on Wednesday, March 11 at Becker Funeral Home, Westwood, NJ. A funeral Mass will be held at St. Andrew’s Church, Westwood, NJ on Thursday, March 12 at 10:30am followed by interment at Ascension Cemetery, Airmont, NY.
