Roisin Coohill, 24, an emergency medical technician from South Beach who followed up with patients on her own time, died yesterday in Staten Island University Hospital, Ocean Breeze, after a two-week bout with pneumonia.
The Bay Ridge native grew up in Lakeville, Pa., in the Lake Wallenpaupack region of the Poconos.
While attending Wallenpaupack Area High School in Hawley, Pa., she sang and acted in theater productions both at school and with community companies.
Ms. Coohill moved to South Beach after she graduated in 1998.
Following in the footsteps of her mother, aunt and older sister, Ms. Coohill trained to become an emergency medical technician (EMT) on Staten Island. She began her career at Cabrini Medical Center, Manhattan, where she worked from 2000 to 2003. At the time of her death, she had worked for two years at Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn.
Ms. Coohill never became jaded by her work, said her sister, Kelly Ward, who is also an EMT.
"She loved it. She was wonderful with people, and she took her time with patients. She often stayed behind to make sure people were OK."
In the weeks following Sept. 11, 2001, Ms. Coohill and her sister volunteered with the cleanup and rescue efforts at Ground Zero. To get there, she took the midnight ferry to Manhattan every night after work.
In the hospital Tuesday night, Ms. Coohill was surrounded by at least 60 of her co-workers, her sister said. "She had so many friends because she was such an outgoing person," said Mrs. Ward, adding that she was named "Everybody's Friend" by her classmates in kindergarten.
Ms. Ward loved to sing karaoke and liked to go out dancing at clubs in Brooklyn.
Although her niece, Ashley Ward, died last year as an infant, Ms. Coohill was a devoted aunt. She lit up in the presence of children, even those she was meeting for the first time, and often volunteered to baby-sit for friends.
Ms. Coohill had a large collection of books about angels, and was a spiritual person, her sister said.
She also is survived by her mother, Marie Coohill, and her maternal grandmother, Rose Riley.
The funeral will be Saturday from the Colonial Funeral Home, New Dorp, with a mass at 10:15 a.m. in St. Charles R.C. Church, Oakwood. Private cremation will follow.
