Tribute to Overland Park, KS Child of Immigrants
Today’s Kansas City Star has a tribute to a member of the Irish community who sadly passed on December 29.
Teresa McGilley Redlingshafer, of Overland Park, Kansas, was a member of Kansas City’s much loved much-loved McGilley family.
She was the daughter of Irish immigrants and loved “everything Irish.” In fact, 10 years ago, she acquired dual citizenship. “Her father and mother were 100 percent Irish,” said son Raymond Redlingshafer Jr. “They (Redlingshafer and her siblings) were the classic children of immigrants who came over and achieved. With my uncle Jim McGilley, she began to collect family documents from Ireland.” Before her death, she visited Ireland twice.
