Giants co-owner Steve Tisch announced the death of his daughter Hilary Anne Tisch on Monday after a bout with depression. She was 36.
“Hilary was a friendly, caring and wonderful person,” Tisch said in the statement. ‘Her mother, sisters, brothers and I have been devastated by her passing. It leaves a hole in our hearts and our lives. She, like so many others, bravely fought the disease of depression for as long as she could. We love and will miss her dearly. Our family is completely heartbroken and mourns his tragic loss. We ask for privacy in this very difficult time. ”
Hilary’s love for antique jewelry inspired her, according to the family, to be a jewelry designer and gemologist. She was a founder of Doen and shopdoen.com and was a volunteer with Operation Smile.
Giants co-owner John Mara released the following statement:
‘On behalf of the Mara family and the rest of the Giants organization, I would like to express our deepest sympathy to Steve and his family. Our hearts are heavy for her loss of Hilary. We pray for their peace and comfort. ”
In addition to her father Steve, Hilary is survived by her mother, Patsy Tisch, and her siblings Will Tisch and his wife Grace, Elizabeth Tisch, Holden Tisch and Zachary Tisch.
