Obituary

On Friday, January 6, 2023, Elizabeth ("Liz") Catherine Dulong, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, mother-in-law, sister, aunt, and friend, passed away after a courageous journey with cancer. Born to Charles and Bridget O'Neill in Somerville, Massachusetts, Liz was a youthful 75 years old at the time of her passing. Liz grew up in both Charlestown and Winthrop with her six siblings including her twin sister and best friend Cecelia ("Cece") Norris with whom she shared a bond in soul and spirit.

Liz made a wonderful, love-filled home in Salem, Massachusetts with her cherished husband Dennis Dulong and their three children Katie, Dennis Jr., and Mark. The couple also had a daughter Mary who passed away before birth, but who remained in their hearts and minds. One of Liz's most cherished roles was that of grandmother. She was lovingly called "Nana D" or "Nana" by her five grandchildren, Olivia, Michael Jr., Avery, Dylan, and Vivienne. She loved them beyond measure. While she will miss the next milestones and adventures of her grandchildren, she will surely look down from above with pride, and be remembered by them always. Liz also formed and maintained strong, meaningful friendships throughout her lifetime. She adored her friends and considered them family.
Liz loved to travel, visiting her beloved Ireland, spending her summers in Maine in the pool, by the beach, and in the hot tub at "Beach Dreams" in Wells where she and Dennis created a second home. Another fun spot she enjoyed was the casino, laughing and playing slots with Cece, her partner in crime.
Those left to cherish her memory include her loving husband Dennis Dulong of Salem; daughter Catherine (Katie) Giello and her husband Michael of Beverly and their children Olivia, Michael Jr., and Avery; son Dennis Dulong Jr. of Salem and his wife Sarah and their children Dylan and Vivienne; son Mark Dulong of Peabody; sister Cecelia Norris of Billerica and her husband John and their sons John and his wife Maaria of Melrose and Christopher Norris and his wife Susan of Pensacola, Fl.; sister Mary Siriani and her late husband Kenneth of Winthrop and their children Kenneth, Theresa, and Christopher; her late sister Margaret Tebeau of Winthrop and her husband Robert; brothers James O'Neill of Boston and the late Charles and Patrick O'Neill; and many other extended family members and beloved friends.
