Remembering the life of

Joan Lomax (née McCarthy)

Tramore, Waterford.

Family and Friends remember Joan as a devoted wife to Geoff, a cherished mother to Clare, Rachel, Lisa, Laura, Arleen, and Alan, and a proud grandmother to her beloved grandchildren. Joan’s kindness, warmth, and gentle spirit were the foundation of her family, creating a legacy of love that will forever remain in their hearts. She will be deeply missed by her sister Barbara, her extended family, and all who were fortunate to know her.

Joan’s care and compassion extended far beyond her home. From the neighbors she connected with in Roselawn to her friendships all over Ireland, Joan brought comfort and joy wherever she went. Her dedication to the Donkey Sanctuary reflected her deep love for animals and her desire to make the world a better place. As her family and friends gather to celebrate her life, they carry with them the wonderful memories and lasting impact of her love and kindness.
