Ellen Olive Hevehan

Born in County Longford, Ireland in 1941, "Aunt Ollie" was the 9th, out of 10 children born into the loving family of Joseph and Mary Mahedy Hevehan.

After emigrating to the U.S. in 1962, Aunt Ollie settled in Jersey City, NJ and enjoyed a 30+ year career at Daniel F. Young, Inc. as an import/export specialist on the Guinness account. After retiring, Aunt Ollie moved to Easton, PA where she was a member of St. Jane Frances de Chantal Roman Catholic Church. An avid reader and gamer, Aunt Ollie was a Nintendo DS master. She traveled the world and took frequent trips back to Ireland and England to visit family, drink tea (only from a china cup), and play cards nonstop. If she wasn't traveling abroad, you could find her at the casino in Las Vegas and in Bethlehem, PA. Slots were her game of choice and she never wasted precious gambling time to take a break to eat. By far, Christmas was her favorite season, with a miniature holiday village under her tree that would rival any NYC department store holiday window. But what did Aunt Ollie value most? That's easy- her family. Specifically, her 9 siblings, which were, Deceased Patrick and Michael Heavey, Gretta and Philomena.

She is survived by her siblings, Celine, Julie of England, Mary of Easton, Pa., Gemma of Ireland and Elizabeth of New Jersey, 28 nieces and nephews, and all of their children. Somehow, she made each one feel unique, special and unconditionally loved. Aunt Ollie's warmth, sense of humor and sparkling blue eyes will help keep her memory alive for all who loved her.
