Waterford), Margaret O’Toole (Thornhill, Lecanvey, Westport), Kathleen Canavan (Kingstown, Clifden) and Geraldine Kilcoyne (Callacon, Louisburgh).

She will be sadly missed and forever loved by her heartbroken family, brothers, sisters, nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews and will also be fondly remembered by her brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, cousins, relatives, all the family circle, former work colleagues and many friends.
