Passing of much loved Ballyheane woman

The death has occurred of Mary Joe Kilcoyne, (née Moran), Ringerraun, Ballyheane, and formerly of Derrew, Ballyheane, Castlebar.

Predeceased by her husband Johnny, she was mother of Rev. Fr. John SMA (Tanzania), Ann O'Brien (Robeen), Michael (Fr. Meehan Place, Castlebar), Pat (Ringerraun) and Kathleen Walsh (Ballymacragh, Castlebar), and sister of Frank Moran (Derrew, Ballyheane) and Kathleen Davoren (Errew, Castlebar), to whom sympathy is tendered.

She is also sadly missed by her grandchildren, great-grandchildren, daughters-in-law, son-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, relatives, neighbours and friends.

May her gentle soul rest in peace.

Removal from her home takes place tomorrow (Saturday), arriving at St. Patrick's Church, Ballyheane, for Requiem Mass at 12 noon.

Burial takes place afterwards in Ballyheane Cemetery.

The family know there are people who would want to attend her funeral, but the family understands why you cannot and would ask you to say a prayer instead.

Due to the current state of emergency all funeral arrangements will be private to family.

A Memorial Mass in celebration of Mary Joe's life will be celebrated at a later date.
