Ruth C. Daley

Albany-Ruth Cecilia Keane Daley died Saturday November 28. 2015 at the Home of the Good Shepherd in Malta NY after a long illness. Ruth was born and lived most of her life in Albany NY, daughter of the late Michael C. and Mary L. Carroll Keane. In 1951 she married the love of her life – the late Francis J. “Bump” Daley. Our parents love for and devotion to each other inspired all of us. Together they raised seven children: Maureen P. (Stephen) Bacher of Leesburg VA; Mary D. (Walter) Tuchowski of Latham; Marcia Daley Savage of Naples FL; Sheila C. (Dr. Steven) Dennis of Newport Beach CA: Robert S. (Catherine) Daley of Queensbury; John E. (Anne) Daley of Guilderland, and Richard M. (Andrea) Daley of Wilton. Cherished grandmother of seventeen grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Sister to the late Richard, Francis, Robert and William Keane; Catherine McMullen, Marjorie McHale and Marian Dascher. Our mother’s fulltime focus on family defined her life for many years, but she would want us to mention the professional endeavors of which she was so proud. Ruth was a licensed real estate sales person with Roberts Real Estate and James Gray. Prior to that she worked at the St. Peter’s Hospital EKG unit and the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles. We want to acknowledge the gentle and loving care provided to our mother by the wonderful staff at the Home of the Good Shepherd Memory Care Center in Malta NY. They allowed us to simply be her children for these last two years and we could not be more grateful. Relatives and friends are invited to visit with Ruth’s family Friday, December 4, 2015 from 4-7 p.m., in the McVeigh Funeral Home, 208 North Allen St., Albany NY. Funeral service at 8:15 a.m. on Saturday, December 5, 2015 at McVeigh Funeral Home and a Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 9 a.m. at the Parish of Mater Christi (formerly St. Catherine of Siena) 40 Hopewell St., Albany NY 12208.
