Claire L. (O'Neil) Kiley

It is with great sadness that we announce Claire L. (O'Neil) Kiley, 94, of Troy, NY passed away peacefully on June 6, 2024, with her family by her side. 

Claire was the daughter of William and Marjorie (Hanks) O’Neil and wife of the late William J. Kiley.

Claire was employed by New York Telephone Company, many area bakeries, and Niagara Mohawk. 

Claire had lots of hobbies, including playing cards with her friends and her family, the Saratoga Racino, bocce, and the Yankees. One of her favorite times of the year would be the annual family trip to Cape Cod. She was a member of the East Side Seniors and the St. Michael’s Women’s Guild. Of all her interests and hobbies, the most important part of her life was her family. She was the glue that kept everything together.

She is survived by her eight loving grandchildren John (Lauren) Costello, Kevin (Eric Mangahis) Keado, Kiley (Dan) Donovan, Max (Gabrielle) Keado, Will Kiley, Michael Costello, Brian (Gabi) Kiley and Jake Keado, great grandchildren Jameson and Kade Keado and Harper Donovan. She is also survived by many other relatives and friends. Claire loved and will be missed by all her grand dogs and grand cats.

Along with her husband and her parents, Claire is pre-deceased by her siblings, Jeanne Gillespie, William O’Neil, and Betty Coonradt and her son-in-law Jack Costello.
