Sr. Marie Feely, SA

November 17, 1938 - April 22, 2022

Sister Marie Feely (formerly Sr. Matthew Marie), a Franciscan Sister of the Atonement from Graymoor, was born into Eternal Life on Friday evening, April 22, 2022 in New York-Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital, Cortlandt, New York. Sister Marie was born on November 17, 1938 in Foxfield, Manorhamilton, Co. Leitrim, Ireland to Matthew and Katherine (Rooney) Feely, and was named Mary Gregory at birth. Pre-deceased by her parents, Sister is survived by her Sisters in Community, her only sibling, Kathleen McLoughlin, as well as her niece and several nephews. Having entered the Community as a Postulant in Ireland on January 24, 1958, she first came to Graymoor (Motherhouse in Garrison, NY) on July 1, 1958. Sister became a Novice on May 4, 1959, professed her First Vows on May 14, 1960 and her Final Vows on August 28, 1965. As an Atonement missionary, Sister Marie served in various parish and pastoral ministries throughout the United States and Canada. Her mission assignments included: New Hampshire (Pittsfield), New York (Schenectady, New York City, Graymoor, Schuylerville), Rhode Island (Harrisville), Oregon (Lakeview), British Columbia, Canada (Castlegar, Revelstoke), Alberta, Canada (Edmonton), Washington, D.C. and her longest mission assignment, Burlington, Vermont from 1992 to 2019. Sister Marie returned to live at the Motherhouse at Graymoor in August 2019. Sister Marie was a faith-filled woman of deep prayer, hope and Franciscan joy. She was a very compassionate and kindhearted Sister who helped many people. Sister Marie had a special love for the homebound, elderly, sick and dying persons. She would try to help in any way she could and would bless their lives with moments of prayer and her sensitive care, often filling the void of loneliness with her supportive visits. In Marie’s own words, she shared: “I have a deep love for my community, mission and the gift of sharing it all with God’s poor and the hurting people, and to be real and allow God’s transforming love to work in me each day. My life is a pure gift from God and I carry His powerful gifts within. You don’t hide your gifts, you share them! We are God’s voice and action in our complicated world today – Wow! – Let us do it!” The reception of the body and evening prayer/wake service was held on Thursday, April 28, 2022 at 6:30 PM. Sister’s funeral Mass was held on Friday, April 29, 2022 at 11:00 AM. Services, held in the Motherhouse chapel at Graymoor, were private for family members and the Atonement Community. Burial was in the Sisters’ Cemetery at Graymoor. In lieu of flowers, donations may be sent to: Franciscan Sisters of the Atonement, 41 Old Highland Turnpike, Garrison, New York 10524 (USA). Funeral arrangements are by Dorsey-Carlone Funeral Home, Peekskill, NY
