Bernice T. O'Reilly

Bernice T. (Glembocki) O'Reilly, 81, of Exeter Township, passed away September 22, 2015 with her loving family by her side.

Born in Reading, she was a daughter of the late Frank and Antoinette (Jankowski) Glembocki and was the youngest of nine siblings. She was married to her loving husband of fifty years, the late Thomas P. O'Reilly.

Bernice was a graduate of Central Catholic High School and was deeply rooted in her faith. She was known for her keen sense of fashion and her witty humor, but most of all she was known for the love and kindness that she showed to everyone. She enjoyed keeping up with her favorite sports teams, reality TV shows and the latest trends, as well as connecting with friends and family on social media while listening to her favorite Polka music. Being with her family and reminiscing over family photos brought her immense pride and joy.

Bernice is survived by three children: Gwen P., wife of William Gage, with whom she resided, Brian T., husband of Lisa (Davidheiser) O'Reilly, Exeter Township and Sharon K., wife of Atty. Michael Restrepo, Exeter Township; three sisters: Hattie Petrowski, Long Island, NY, Regina Zaorski, Muhlenberg Township and Celia Kilar, Mt. Penn; eight grandchildren: Kelly (Gage) Mocey, Kristi Gage-Linderman, Colleen O'Reilly, Corinne (Restrepo) Davis, Hilary Restrepo, Bryn O'Reilly, Shannon Restrepo and Shaun O'Reilly and three great-grandchildren: Sienna, Cameron and Nathan Mocey.

She was predeceased by her husband, Thomas P. O'Reilly; her grandson, Shane O'Reilly and five of her beloved brothers and sisters.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Tuesday at 10 a.m. in Gethsemane Chapel. Burial will be in adjoining cemetery.
