Family and friends remember Mary as a kind, elegant, and warm-hearted woman whose presence brought light to everyone she met. With quiet strength and a heart full of love, she devoted herself to her beloved children, Ann and Paul, and adored her grandchildren, Hannah and Luke, cherishing every moment with them. Deeply connected to her roots in Kilfinane, Limerick, and her years in London, she built a beautiful life in Tramore, surrounded by a close-knit community of wonderful neighbours and friends. Her deep faith, gentle nature, and ever-present kindness made her a treasured part of the lives of so many.
Mary’s legacy is one of love, resilience, and unwavering devotion to her family. She found joy in the simple moments, cherished time with loved ones, heartfelt conversations, and the comfort of tradition. While her passing leaves a profound void, the memories she created will live on in the hearts of all who knew her. As her family and friends gather to honour her life, they take comfort in knowing that she is reunited with her beloved husband, Frank, and that her gentle soul will continue to watch over them. Mary’s presence will be deeply missed, but her spirit will forever remain in the hearts of those she touched.
