Remembering the life of

Eileen Hanlon (née Purcell)

Crobally Upper, Tramore, Waterford

Family and friends remember Eileen Hanlon as a lovely lady, gentle and kind, whose warmth and welcome were remembered by everyone who knew her. Late of Crobally Upper, Tramore, Eileen was the beloved wife of the late Patrick, a much-loved mother to Linda, Stephen and Joe, and the mother of her adored son Tony. She was a cherished grandmother to Patrick, Adam and Melissa, and a proud great-grandmother to Tadgh. The messages shared since her passing speak of a woman who was kind, warm and welcoming, and who left a lasting impression on those who came to know her.

One friend remembered that Eileen always told her to call her by her first name, though it somehow never felt right, such was the respect she inspired. The same friend spoke of how Eileen treated her family’s friends as though they were her own. Tony’s friends also remembered her fondly, and several people took comfort in the thought of Eileen reunited with Patrick and Tony. May Linda, Stephen, Joe, Patrick, Adam, Melissa, Tadgh and all of Eileen’s family and friends find comfort in those memories, and in the kindness and welcome she gave so freely throughout her life.

Late of Crobally Upper, Tramore, Co. Waterford. Eileen passed peacefully in Tramore Nursing Home with her loving family by her side on Saturday the 7th of November 2026. RIP.

Predeceased by her beloved husband Patrick and her adored son Tony.

She will be remembered always by her niece and nephews, all her extended family, relatives, wonderful neighbours, and many, many friends.

Eileen’s family would like to thank with great appreciation all the staff in Tramore Nursing Home, Co. Waterford for the exceptional care Eileen received throughout her time there.

May her gentle soul rest in peace
