Obituary: Erin Brady Conry, The Dalles

Obituary: Erin Brady Conry, The Dalles

Erin Brady Conry’s life was a love story.

Erin Brady Conry

She was born June 15, 1953 in The Dalles and graduated from The Dalles High School in 1971. Erin graduated from the OSU School of Pharmacy in 1976 and served several communities as a dedicated pharmacist in the Tualatin Valley where she lived for most of her career.

While on a cruise ship, she met and fell in love with Patrick Conry, and they were married in November 1986. As a couple, they liked to travel and their home was known for Patrick’s hospitality and Erin’s cooking talent. While her work as a pharmacist required precision, her culinary passion expressed innovation and exuberance. Their home was a comfortable place full of love and playful dachshunds. After retirement, Erin and Patrick moved to Eagle Crest near Redmond, Oregon.

Erin passed away embraced by her siblings on March 6th, 2022 as a result of MS just six months after the death of her husband Patrick.

She is survived by her mother Eileen Brady, her sister, Coleen Connolly (Jim), her brothers, Phil Brady (Mary Jo Commerford), and Kevin Brady (Kerry Jo) and her nieces and nephews: Bridget, Rose, Patrick (Elanor Taylor), and Molly Connolly, Sarah (LaKecia Farmer), and Maza Brady (Chris Gray), and Kai (Zei Johnson) and Kyle Brady.

A funeral mass will be celebrated on Saturday, March 26th at 12:00 noon at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church in Lake Oswego.
