William and Claire (Farrell) Greene. She resided in Londonderry for the past 44 years
and channeled many of her energies and talents to the benefit of the town and its
citizens. With a focus on scholarships for young people, her contributions earned her a place in the published history of the town. Many will remember the Women’s Club
annual variety shows that became a popular and fun community event.
May recently celebrated 49 years of marriage with her loving and devoted husband, Dennis O’Malley. She was revered and adored by her three children, Sean O'Malley, Kelley McGhee, and Thomas O'Malley and her siblings, William Greene, Thomas Greene, and Margaret Varrecchione. Her grandchildren, Alyssa, Simon, Lauren, Danielle, Melanie, Michael, and Norah, brought great joy to her life and strengthened her will to live. With a passion for sports, a love for music and the arts, and a commitment to the disadvantaged, May’s life was full of variety, spirit, and soul. She cherished her friends and family and enjoyed many happy gatherings in her home nestled in the woods. There was always more room at her dinner table and in her heart for anyone who needed care. She accepted and celebrated everyone, making each person in her presence feel special and valued. Her generosity and kindness is unmatched and her zest and respect for life is an inspiration.
