Rosemary “Roey” Uhl (nee Brennan) age 51 of Dingmans Ferry, PA, died Sunday, September 25, 2011, after a long and courageous battle with breast cancer, with the comfort of her family by her side.
She was born in Paterson and raised in Riverdale having graduated from DePaul High School in Wayne with the Class of 1979. She later lived in Haskell before moving to Dingmans Ferry, PA twenty-two years ago.
She has worked at the Llanfair House in Wayne and Lincoln Park Nursing Home as a dietary aid, Lakeland Cold Type, Wayne and the Suburban Trends newspaper as a paste-up artist. In 1989 she found out she was pregnant with her son William and dedicated her life to caring for her family.
Roey had a huge soft spot in her heart for any animal, insect, even rodents. When her son was 10 months old he was attacked in the yard by a rabid skunk thinking it was a “kitty cat”. She eventually caught the skunk in a milk crate and was trying to give it food and water. Her loving heart also extended to the bug and rodent world. If she saw either in the house she couldn’t kill it, she would do her best to catch and release them.
She was also a very talented artist. One of her paintings was in consideration for a State of Pennsylvania Trout Stamp. She brought another to a furniture store to ask if they would display and sell it. It sold the very same day. Although she possessed much talent she was also very humble. She didn’t want to draw attention to herself and didn’t even like to wear jewelry. Roey had a great sense of humor and could also be very stubborn in her ways.
While at a young adult group meeting at St. Marys Church in Pompton Lakes she spotted William L Uhl. On April 12, 1980 they went to the Powderhorn Mill in Riverdale and later went to the Meadowlands Race track to see the Trotters. They fell in love and married on August 28, 1983 at St. Marys Church in Pompton Lakes, and went to Disney World for their honeymoon.
She was the loving wife of twenty-eight years to William “Bill” L. Uhl; devoted mother of William A. Uhl of Dingmans Ferry, PA; cherished daughter of the late Andrew and Dolores Brennan; loved sister of the late John Brennan(4/25/2011) and his surviving wife Sharon of Highland Lakes; Andrew Brennan of Haledon, Maureen Tencza of Riverdale, Richard Brennan and his wife Nancy of Pine Brook, and Joseph Brennan and his wife Beth of Doylestown, PA; much loved aunt to nine nieces and nephews.
