Passing of much-loved Castlebar woman

The death has taken place of Catherine (Kitty) Bourke (née Syron), St. Patrick's Avenue, Castlebar, and formerly of Lahardane.

She was held in very high regard in the community and her passing has evoked an immense sense of loss.

Predeceased by her loving husband Paddy, she is deeply regretted by her son Pearse (Galway), daughters Eileen Bourke (Breaffy), Marie Bourke (Balla), Bernie Hopkins (Castlebar), Geraldine Moran (Castlebar) and Dolores Kilkenny (USA), brothers Christy and Joe, sons-in-law, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, sisters-in-law, nephews, nieces, cousins, relatives, neighbours and friends, to whom sympathy is tendered.

Requiem Mass for the repose of her soul took place this morning (Monday) in the Church of the Holy Rosary followed by burial in the New Cemetery, Castlebar.

May her gentle soul rest in peace.
