Aileen was a lover of literature and a long time & founding member of the Orleans Play Reading Group. Aileen was a lecture at St. Joan of Arc in Orleans for decades and a daily communicant. Along with her children & siblings she is survived by 4 grandchildren, Kasi, Mike, Matt & Joe, and 8 great grandchildren, and legions of well-loved nieces and nephews in Ireland.
