Susan Maloney Fennelly
Susan Maloney Fennelly of Hampton Bays died at her home on August 7. She was 63.
Ms. Fennelly was born on March 29, 1957 in Queens to Ronald “Bud” and Marge Maloney.
After moving from Westbury to Hampton Bays after spending a summer on the water, Ms. Fennelly graduated Bishop McGann-Mercy High School in 1975 and, after attending college, worked in the family insurance business.
Ms. Fennelly married her husband Tim in 2000, also of Hampton Bays. Their newly combined family included her children, Kimberly and David Steers, and stepsons, Timothy and Christopher Fennelly, a cocker spaniel named Chipper, and, ultimately, her beloved goldendoodle, Maggie Mae. Their spouses and grandchildren would follow.
Ms. Fennelly’s loves included anything creative, according to her family. Never fearful of trying a new skill, they said, you would regularly find her in a library cooking class or an adult education program at school learning a craft or how to paint.
Always willing to try something new or to lend a hand to a friend, her family recalled, Ms. Fennelly loved her community and anyone she considered a friend. Growing up in Hampton Bays, she enjoyed the beaches at Ponquogue and all that Hampton Bays has to offer. Over the years, she was a stranger to no one, her family said.
Above all, her passion for her family, especially her grandchildren, was second to none, her family noted.
She is survived by her husband, Tim Fennelly; and her children, Kimberly Maloney Clemensen (Lars) and David Harvey Steers; her stepsons, Tim (Michelle) and Chris (Kristen); her grandchildren, Ryland, Josiah, Samantha, Christian, Alexandra and Isabelle; and her siblings, Ronald, John, Tom and Rob Maloney and Kathleen Walsh.
A visitation was scheduled for Wednesday, August 12, at the Scott-Rothwell Funeral Home and a funeral Mass at St. Rosalie’s Church in Hampton Bays was scheduled for Thursday, August 13, at 10:30 a.m.
