Tami O’Reilly Sgroi, 57, a longtime resident of Collamer Road in East Syracuse, passed away peacefully with family on July 19, 2023, at Bernadine Apartments.
Tami loved her family, grandkids and precious pets. She enjoyed her time helping others, walks at Green Lakes and being a storyteller of her family’s history and she retained so much knowledge of it.
Tami is predeceased by her mother Judith Eggert and father Edward O’Reilly, her sisters Christine Gemmell and Lisa Ritchie. She leaves behind her children Jeremy (Kayla) Sgroi, Nicole (Leon) Liepke, Michael Sgroi and her siblings Kevin (Valerie) O’Reilly and Kimberly Tartaglia and stepmother Jane Farsaci O’Reilly and three grandchildren and nieces and nephews.
Tami will be remembered for her enormous heart, her caring and kindness in helping others, especially the elderly and of course her stubborn Irish attitude. In typical Tami fashion, she expressed privacy, however a celebration of life will occur with details to be determined and in a way we can all share a favorite memory.
Until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of his hand.
Any donations in her honor may be sent to: HumaneCNY 4915 West Taft Road, Liverpool, NY 13088, or also directly through their website, as she loved and adored her own pets and this organization.
Please take the time to share thoughts and stories or pictures at scheppfamily.com, Schepp Funeral Home’s page, to be included in a memory book. Thank you everyone who stood by her side for support, laughs and friendship.
