Elizabeth N. Reilly

She was born in Cleveland, Ohio on January 15, 1979, the daughter of Susan A. (Pero) and Brian J. Reilly. She grew up in Keene and was a 1998 graduate of Dublin School.

She moved to San Francisco in 2000 where she worked as a waitress for many years at different area restaurants including the well-known “Red’s Java House” on the Bay, and “Sears Fine Foods” in downtown San Francisco.

She completed training in massage therapy at the World School of Massage and Holistic Healing Arts, and subsequently was self-employed as a massage therapist for the last several years. She was also working towards completing her college degree, taking classes at the City College of San Francisco.

Elizabeth was an avid reader and enjoyed learning the basics of a number of languages. She also trained as a docent for the San Francisco Botanical Gardens. She loved to travel and cherished the time she spent exploring both locally and abroad. It brought great joy for her to be the personal “tour guide” for family and friends visiting San Francisco.

She is survived by her father, Brian J. Reilly of Keene; her maternal grandmother, Elizabeth Pero of Pittsfield, MA; her step-mother, Reinette (Shaw) Reilly of Keene; and step-sisters, Jessica Shaw, Amy Kennedy and Sarah Skeels. She was predeceased by her mother, and her brother, Andrew M. Reilly.

Private funeral services will be held in Keene.
