Ann
Cassidy Tierney of the Town of Newburgh, passed away on June 5, 2022 after a
long illness. She was 89. Born on January 3, 1933, Ann was the third daughter of
William and Pauline Cassidy, with her sisters Wilma Drake, Barbara Hansche and
Valerie Cutler surviving her. Ann married Joseph M. Tierney in 1954 at St.
Mary’s Church where she remained a devoted parishioner until it’s closure. She
was predeceased by her cherished husband Joe in 1985. A devoted, selfless and
generous wife, mother, grandmother and volunteer, Ann leaves behind four
children, nine grandchildren, one great grandson and dozens of silver bowls and
trophies from her victories at the Powelton Club with “18-hole ladies golf
league”. Ann was elected “Athlete of the Year” in her senior year at NFA and
excelled in all sports her entire life. Water skiing, snow skiing, ice skating,
basketball and softball were all easy for her. She was famously pictured on the
cover of a Catskills Mountain Ski Map in 1959, because no photographer could
pass up her pronounced natural beauty. A lifetime of volunteerism, perhaps 40
years, with the St. Luke’s Hospital Ladies Auxiliary, became part of her story.
In her senior years, always the competitor, she kept active with doubles tennis
and Duplicate Bridge, which was a particular highlight for her that allowed her
to maintain a connection to the special gals of whom she was very fond. Ann’s
fearless devotion to Motherhood and Marriage will long be remembered by all her
children, Mark Tierney of Newburgh, Lynn Hastings (spouse Steve) of Wallkill,
Michael Tierney (spouse Kelly) of Garrison, Alan Tierney of Montgomery.
Grandchildren Joseph, Shannon, Hillary, Abby, Megan, Michael Jr., Mackenzie,
Kaylyn, Logan and great grandson, Olias. Ann is predeceased by son Joseph
Tierney in 2020. A Mass of Christian Burial will take place at St. Patrick’s
Church, 55 Grand Street, Newburgh, NY 12550, Thursday June 9, 2022 at 11:00 am.
Burial will follow at St. Mary’s Cemetery, Marlboro, NY. - January 3, 1933 -
