Eileen V. SanSevero March 11, 1945 - December 1, 2015 Obituary STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Eileen Veronica San Severo, 70, of Tottenville, a retired hospital lab technician who was full of life and was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, died Tuesday in Staten Island University Hospital, Ocean Breeze. Born Eileen Veronica McBrearty in Manhattan, she was raised in Astoria, Queens, and Elm Park. After her marriage to Joseph San Savero in 1965, the couple lived in Westerleigh. They settled in Tottenville in 1968. Mrs. San Savero worked for more than 15 years as a laboratory technician at the former Muhlenberg Hospital in Plainfield, N.J. She retired in 2009. She graduated from the former St. Louis Academy in Pleasant Plains, and earned a bachelor's degree in medical technology from the College of Staten Island, Sunnyside. She and her husband enjoyed travel and vacationing with their children every year. Most recently, they cruised with their children to Bermuda and had always hoped to visit Ireland. She also enjoyed solving crossword puzzles, playing tennis, dancing, bowling, attending Broadway shows and visiting casinos playing slot machines. In addition, she enjoyed watching basketball, volunteered as a basketball coach and was a Kenny Rogers fan. She is survived by her husband of 50 years, Joseph; her son, Joseph; her daughter, Donnamarie San Severo; her brothers, Vincent and Charles McBrearty; her sister Kathleen McBrearty and eight grandchildren. Arrangements including cremation are being handled by the John Vincent Scalia Home for Funerals, Eltingville. Staten Island Advance - December 05, 2015
To
me our relationship was never man and woman, but rather
boy and girl; we both enjoyed our life together and did
all the fun things that families do. We had two great
children, Joseph and DonnaMarie, and they are the best
thing that ever happened to us in our lifetime. They
have grown to be a lot like their mother and father, and
that is the greatest testament to how we raised our
children to love and respect everyone around them and to
help those in need. So we ask that all those who knew my wife to give to charities that will help the poor, young children, and anyone who needs a shoulder to cry on or needs support. Charities such as Food Pantries and Meals on Wheels need your help, if not with money than with your time; volunteer a few hours a week for those in need. Doing this in memory of Eileen would surely make her smile as she looks down upon us.

In Memory of
When
you’ve known someone for over fifty years, you kind of
know what the other is thinking and what they like. I
met Eileen at a very young age and thought she was just
the cutest girl I ever met; everything she said made me
happy or made me laugh.
