Delia Gaffey 4/18/36-1/2/2022
Delia (Travers) Gaffey, a recent resident of
Warwick, NY passed away peacefully on Sunday,
January 2, 2022. She was 85 years old.
Born in the Bronx on April 18, 1936, she was the
daughter of the late Daniel and Mary (Condon)
Travers.
Dee graduated from Walton High School in 1954
and married the love of her life, Bob Gaffey.
They lived an exciting, faith-filled life with six kids
in tow, making friends, bringing laughter, and
sharing stories all along the way.
In a letter written to her children several years ago, Dee said, “This didn’t just
happen. We know that the Lord had a big hand in it. It could not have just
fallen into place. We were blessed with six great children. They were blessed
with wonderful spouses and with children modeled after their own special
graces. The moral to that story is ‘prayers are answered’ because we prayed
our way through it all.”
Dee has been welcomed into heaven with open arms by her loving husband
Bob (2012). She is survived by her sister Eleanor (Phillip Gibson) of
Brooksville, FL and her children Robert (Debra) of White Plains, NY; Theresa
(Frank Kroll) of Lindenhurst, NY; Vicki of Hackettstown, NJ; Janet of Sparta,
NJ; Susan (Dave Ryan) of Philadelphia, Pa; and Eileen (James Patterson) of
Warwick, NY. She was predeceased by her son, Gene (1998). She also
leaves behind eleven grandchildren: Jaime (Charles Fitch); Dan Gaffey
(Megan); Ryan McEnerney (Katherine); Sean Gaffey (Carly); John Patrick
McEnerney; Amanda (Brendan Leisen); Connor Ryan (Lindsey); Catherine
Wenzel (Joe Kowalsky); Mary Ryan; John Wenzel; and Shea Patterson. She
was predeceased by grandson Timothy Kroll (2009). She is also survived by
nine great grandchildren Brendan, Brody, Bryce, Breelyn, Colin, Ryan, Jack,
Riley and Ava. Many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends will also mourn
the loss of this great lady.
