Tim Feeley was born on February 3, 1956, the third of four children born to Frank and Scotti Feeley. Theirs was a family committed to service to their country. Frank Feeley, who had been raised as a young boy in a dirt floor cottage in County Leitrim, Ireland, moved to New York City in the early 1930's, and enlisted in the U.S. Marines at the age of seventeen in 1940. He rose to the rank of sergeant and participated in several island assault landings against Japanese forces. He lost his left leg to a mortar blast on the Island of Tinian and was awarded the Bronze Star for valor. After his return to the States, he graduated from Columbia University, served as a civilian advisor to the Army in Korea during that conflict, then returned home again to marry, graduate law school, and raise his family.
Scotti Feeley, a Navy WAVE veteran of WWII, graduated from Barnard College and worked for several years as a magazine editor before marrying.
Both Tim�s older brothers served their country. Mike served three years as a Marine during the Vietnam era. He currently practices law in Denver and has served as the minority leader of the Colorado State Senate. Philip �Flip� Feeley is a 1977 graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy; he served six years as an Air Force pilot. He currently flies for Delta Airlines. Tim�s younger sister, Bridget, is a CPA living in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Tim attended the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania on an Army ROTC scholarship, and graduated in 1978 with a B.S. in Economics. A Distinguished Military Graduate from Penn, Tim�s first duty post was as Deputy Finance and Accounting Officer for the Berlin Brigade. In 1982, Tim married Dr. Susan Burton Feeley, whom he met during his initial Army training. They made their first home in West Virginia, where Tim attended West Virginia University College of Law while Sue practiced dentistry in a rural clinic for the U.S. Public Health Service. Upon graduation from law school in 1985, Tim was assigned to Fort Knox as a member of the Army JAG Corp, while Sue served six months at the Portland Health Clinic in Louisville, then transferred from the USPHS to the active Army and began military service in the Army Dental Corp at Fort Knox.
Tim and Sue�s family began to grow. Kathleen was born in West Virginia in 1984. Mary (1985), Peggy (1988) and Jack (1989) were born at Ireland Army Hospital at Fort Knox. Facing a decision to stay in the military and try to manage parallel career tracks, or leaving the service to establish a home base for their growing family, Tim and Sue chose to remain in Kentucky to raise their children. In October 1988, they first visited the Oldham County farmhouse that was to become their family home.
Tim left the Army in April 1989, and accepted a position as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Kentucky . He began as a collections attorney, but after over seven years with that office was promoted to Chief of the Financial Litigation Division. Sue left the active Army in September 1989, but remained in the Army Reserves. In August 1990, Major Sue Feeley was activated in support of Operation Desert Shield/Storm and served eight months on active duty. Tim was left at home with the four children, then aged 6, 5, 2 and 11 months.
Sue returned home in May 1991, and soon opened her own private dental practice in Crestwood, Kentucky. In 1996, Tim left the U.S. Attorney�s Office and opened his own private law practice in Oldham County.
Today, Tim and Sue continue to live and work in Oldham County. Their eldest daughter, Kathleen, attends Western Kentucky University on an ROTC scholarship. Mary, a senior at South Oldham High School, has received an appointment to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Class of 2007. Sue, who continues to serve in the Army Reserves, has been activated in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
