☘️ Rockland County AOH Mourns the Passing of Mary O’Sullivan ☘️

The Rockland County Ancient Order of Hibernians mourns the passing of Mary O’Sullivan, a beloved figure of our Irish American community, a dedicated Hibernian, and a longtime Chairperson of the Rockland County St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

For decades, Mary’s dedication, leadership, and countless hours of volunteer service helped make the Pearl River St. Patrick’s Day Parade the cherished tradition it is today. She helped preserve and celebrate our Irish heritage, strengthen our community, and ensure that our traditions would be passed on to future generations.

Mary was recognized as Hibernian of the Year in 1999 and received one of our community’s highest honors when she served as Grand Marshal of the Rockland County St. Patrick’s Day Parade in 2007.

Mary’s life reflected the finest traditions of Hibernianism: Friendship, Unity, and Christian Charity. Her devotion to her Catholic faith, her family, her Irish heritage, and her community was evident in everything she did.

We extend our deepest condolences to Mary’s family, her many friends, and her sisters in the Ladies Ancient Order of Hibernians.

Each March, when the pipes sound and the parade makes its way through Pearl River, Mary’s legacy will march on.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis. ☘️

It is with great sadness that we learn of the passing of our brother Denis Troy. Denis was a Hibernian in the truest sense of the word and truly lived our motto of Friendship, Unity and Christian Charity

While always a son of the Bronx and a proud Jasper, Denis' heart was always in Orangetown and Pearl River where for three decades he gave his time, energy and talents. Whether serving in elected office, coaching youth sports, supporting parish life, or volunteering with organizations that cared for seniors, children, veterans, and people with disabilities, Denis focused on the everyday issues and made a change in real lives.

Within the Ancient Order of Hibernians, Denis was a leader who understood both responsibility and tradition. As President, Vice President, Treasurer, and long-time member of Division 3 and the Hibernian House, he helped build and sustain one of the strongest centers of Irish-American life. He believed the AOH mattered—not just as a social club, but as a living expression of faith, heritage, and service.

Most importantly, Denis was a devoted husband and proud father, and grandfather and a true friend who could be relied on.

His passing leaves a real absence, his example a challenge for all of us to carry on his legacy.

we will post details on arrangements as soon as they are known
