Frankie Ann (Simonds) Reilly

Frankie Ann (Simonds) Reilly, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on February 1, 2025, just shy of her 80th birthday. She is survived by her beloved husband Bernard “Dave” Reilly, with whom she would have celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary with in October of this year. Born in Stoughton, she was the daughter of the late Frank Simonds and Elizabeth (Davin) Haddigan, and stepdaughter of the late Dorothy Simonds. She was raised and educated in Stoughton, graduating Class of 1963, and became a longtime resident of Raynham after previously living in Stoughton. Dave and Frankie met in their late teenage years, where they spent a lifetime making memories and raising their children together. She held many different job titles throughout her life, working as a manager for Benjamin’s Restaurant in Taunton for 15 years, earning her Real Estate License where she worked for the real estate industry for many years, and one of her latest jobs before having to retire, was working as a Title Examiner for both Bristol and Plymouth County. Frankie was an extremely hard worker and was devoted to every job she held, and was passionate to the work and loyal to others. She enjoyed going to the casino – especially Foxwoods, taking her weekly Bingo trips with her sisters, and above all loved spending time with her family. She will be greatly missed by those who knew her.

In addition to her dear husband Dave, Frankie is survived by her children Kim Elizabeth Reilly of North Kingstown, RI, and Jodi Kirker and her husband Daniel of Moultonborough, NH. She was the “Narna” to Nathan Kirker and Brianna Kirker, and is survived by her sisters Marlene Giammarco, Madeline Barker and was preceded in death by her siblings Robert Simonds, Priscilla Clark, Dorothy Perdigao, Frank Simonds, Jr., and Eddy Haddigan. She also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends.
