It is with joyful and grateful hearts that we celebrate the life of Margaret Ann Feerrar of Quarryville, PA, who went home to be with Jesus. It was her lifelong wish to meet Him, and that is what she did on Thursday, February 4th, 2021. Until the last few weeks, Margaret Ann, also known as Peggy and Granny, was healthy, vibrant, and strong. Her life as a young orphan in Georgia, along with her four beloved siblings, was difficult, but eased with their steadfast faith in a gracious God. And He showered Granny’s path in life with innumerable blessings - four children: Harold Feerrar III (Buddy) and his wife Brenda and their four children; Gene Feerrar, his wife Irene, and their five children; Ted Feerrar, his wife Lisa and one child; and Dawn Taylor, her husband Larry Taylor, and four children; plus 24 great grandchildren. Granny was the mother, grandmother, and great grandmother everyone wishes for. She played with children with a spirit that mirrored their joy! Every child was welcome in her home, where they were always loved, well fed, and cared about. A friend of one of Granny’s grandchildren said his memories of her make him grin from ear to ear, and that she was the best definition of the word “Granny.” Paul (Bud) Lyon, 67, of Kirkwood, PA, passed away Wednesday, February 3, 2021, after a lengthy battle with renal cancer. He was born in Philadelphia on June 3, 1953 to the late Paul J. and Florence Lyon. Throughout his life, he always strived to be a friend to everyone and positively touched the lives of all who met him. With his time and talent he selflessly served friends, family, and complete strangers willfully and often. He is especially remembered by all who met him for his generosity, strong handshake, sparkling eyes, big smile, and loud mouth. All who knew him, even tangentially, have at least a few good memories and Bud stories. A son of Philadelphia, Andrew Thomson Reilley Jr. fancied himself a Scotsman— for good reason. His father, Andrew T. Reilley Sr. emigrated in 1905 with his parents and siblings from Hamilton, Scotland (near Glasgow), and years later it was not unusual to hear an old-country Scottish brogue at family gatherings. We could always count on Andy to don his red plaid pants and tie for family Christmas parties, a tradition as unbreakable as the singing of "I Belong to Glasgow" and "Who Killed Cock Robin?" The end of September 1936 marked the beginning for Mr. Reilley. Montana Street in the Germantown section of Philly was his stomping ground for those early years. In 1941, Andrew Jr. and his parents moved to Metuchen, New Jersey—the setting of many childhood adventures, some of which he recorded in his self-published autobiography. |
