Ellen Elizabeth O'Malley (nee Cassidy) entered into eternal rest on June 29, 2018 surrounded by her loving family. After nursing school in 1962, Ellen left the shores of Ireland to pursue her dreams in America. She worked as a registered nurse for over 30 years. Her children and grandchildren were her whole life. Her positivity, kindness and passion for helping others left an indelible mark on all who knew her. Ellen fought Parkinson's Disease with fearless courage and strength. She was always more concerned about the welfare of others rather than her own plight. She inspired us all and now God has welcomed home one of his own.
Ellen is survived by her beloved children Mary (Pablo), Erin (Jay), Michael (Anna), Sean (Shannon), and grandchildren Allie, Caitlin, Jay, Colin and Cassidy.
Visitation will be held on Thursday, July 5 from 4-8 PM at the Quinn-Hopping Funeral Home, Livingston. Funeral Mass will be offered on Friday, July 6 at 10AM at Our Lady of Lourdes Church, West Orange. Private cremation will follow.
