October 17, 1935 — August 21, 2025
Sheila Manning Geraghty, age 89, of Washingtonville, entered into rest on Thursday, August 21, 2025, in Port Jervis, New York.
Sheila was born on October 17, 1935, in Bantry, County Cork, Ireland, to the late John and Jane (Cronin) Manning.

The family extends heartfelt gratitude to Sheila’s caregivers and the hospice nurses for their grace, kindness, and support over the past few months.
