Obituary of Lillian Dooley

An active resident of Middlesex, Lil belonged to Our Lady of Mount Virgin Church, was an auxiliary member of the H.C. Pierce Hose Company and American Legion and served on the democratic committee.
Lil enjoyed all the time spent with her family as a homemaker; especially with her “adopted” grandchildren. She was an avid babysitter and she loved to travel with her daughter Colleen.
Predeceased by her daughter Kelly Ann, brother Richard and sister-in-law Phyllis Morrongiello, Lil leaves behind her husband James and her daughter Colleen of Middlesex, sister-in-law Helen Wargo of Hillsborough and her extended family; Evan and Alexis Schroeder, Nicholas, Kaitlynn and Grayson Breen, Ariana and Lorenzo Ferro as well as several nieces and nephews.
Due to the current restrictions in place, funeral services will be held privately. A funeral mass will be held at Our Lady of Mount Virgin Church and burial will follow at Resurrection Burial Park in Piscataway.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Lil’s name sent to H.C. Pierce Hose Company, 416 A Street, Middlesex would be appreciated.
