An Enduring Gift to Honor a Lifetime of Memories

Eileen Clancy was the epitome of a people person. During her 71 years as a Greenwich resident, her many friends and community activities were at the center of a vibrant, fun-loving, and full life.

Affectionately nicknamed the “Queen of Byram Shore Road,” she was adored by her neighbors, fellow parishioners at Sacred Heart Church, and many friends at the Byram Garden Club, Greenwich Seniors Center, and the local AARP chapter in Glenville.

If there was one place that Mrs. Clancy considered her home away from home, it was Greenwich Hospital. As a longtime volunteer greeter at the hospital’s front Welcome Desk, it was here that the people person in Mrs. Clancy thrived. Even when she was no longer able to drive, her indomitable spirit prevailed. She remained dedicated to her Greenwich Hospital volunteer role, making it a priority to arrive at the Welcome Desk to greet and help visitors.

Married and widowed twice, Mrs. Clancy passed away in 2019 at age 95. She left behind beloved friends and many memories chronicled in photo albums that she cherished. She also ensured that her dedication to Greenwich Hospital would continue, even when she was no longer here to share her bright smile and warm greeting. Through a generous legacy gift, Mrs. Clancy ensured that her long-term plans included the hospital she called “home.”
