Delaware Bay Lighthouse Keepers

& Friends Association, Inc.

"Our mission is to preserve the history of the Delaware Bay

and River Lighthouses, Lightships and their Keepers."

It is with regret that we announce the passing of the founder and President of the Delaware Bay Lighthouse Keepers & Friends Association. Carole F. Reily (Hussan) of Buena, NJ formerly of Collingswood, NJ passed away on July 6, 2007. Best known as "The Lighthouse Lady", she brought much joy to so many of her friends, family and all who knew her with her never ending smile and sense of humor. May her beacon continue to shine.

Who We Are:

The Delaware Bay Lighthouse Keepers and Friends Association was founded in 1995. Our goals are to bring together former Keepers, their relatives and friends, Coast Guard and any individuals who truly care about the preservation and upkeep of Lighthouses and particularly our historic Delaware Bay and River Lights.
