Heaney
Liam Heaney, 76, of Philadelphia, PA, born and raised in Magherafelt, County Derry, Northern Ireland, died at Abington Hospital on January 11, 2024 surrounded by his family. He is survived by his beloved wife of 44 years, Kathleen (née Scanlon), devoted son Sean, and sister Betty Heaney Black. He was predeceased by his parents, Patrick and Mary (née McCann), sister Geraldine Boyle and her husband Eugene, nephew Eugene Boyle, George Black, Marrion Scanlon, Ann Scanlon, and John James Scanlon. He is also survived by Colleen Boyle, Lisa (Jack) Morrisey, Michelle Boyle Wolf, David Boyle, Meghan Boyle Griffiths, Lynn Black, Mark Black, Patrick Scanlon, Anthony Scanlon, Monica Scanlon (John Veneziale), Brian Scanlon (Janet), Linda Clark (Michael), Kevin Scanlon (Jennifer), many nieces and nephews, and countless friends.
Liam was a warehouse manager for Acme Markets for over 25 years, later working for a Kitchen/Bath design company, but throughout his life and retirement, he bartended at various establishments in the area. This afforded him the opportunity to meet and connect with people, which he so enjoyed. Liam loved any social occasion. Kate and Liam could often be found doing the jive on the dancefloor, and on any given Sunday during football season, Liam was excited to host everyone for the Eagles game in his family room, affectionately know as the ‘VIP” lounge. Liam also spent many hours working in his garden and was always so proud to show it off. Mostly, though, Liam loved to spend time with his family and friends. Liam was a man of great faith and a true gentleman.
