Carole Reily Passes One of our brightest lights has been
extinguished. On July 4, 2007 Carole Reily, The Lighthouse
Lady, passed away. Carole was a Lifetime Member of the New
Jersey Lighthouse Society and Founder and President of the Delaware
Bay & River Lighthouse Keepers and Friends
Association. While suffering from rheumatoid arthritis from
the time she was a young girl, Carole was an active lighthouse
enthusiast, climbing every lighthouse she visited until the last few
years. Carole was a frequent participant and vendor at our
lighthouse meetings with an everlasting smile and cheery
greeting. Carole was also at almost every NJ Challenge setting up
her vendor table at the East Point Lighthouse.
She was honored at
NJLHS's recognition ceremony at the Barnegat meeting in March 2006. She
will be greatly missed by her lighthouse friends and peers.
The family is asking in lieu of flowers,
donations be made
to DBLHKFA c/o: M. Mulligan, Treasurer, 1049 Simca Terrace,

Directors

family.
