Death of retired Mayo civil servant Kay Nally, a woman of 'boundless generosity'

The death of Kay (Kathleen) Nally, Logaphuill, Belcarra, Castlebar, is widely mourned.

Kay passed away peacefully after a short illness in the wonderful care of the staff at Mayo Hospice.

Aged 81, she served with distinction as a staff officer at the Department of Agriculture, based at Davitt House in Castlebar, for many years, being held in high regard by her colleagues.

Renowned for her wonderful sense of humour, quick wit and boundless generosity, Kay will be dearly missed and fondly remembered by her sisters Gaye Kennedy, Anne Nally and Pauline Keane, her nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews, extended family, kind neighbours, former colleagues and a wide circle of friends, to whom sympathy is tendered.

Kay was predeceased by her parents Martin and Baby Nally and her brother James (Jimmy) Nally.

Kay will repose at Kilcoyne’s Funeral Home, Thomas Street, Castlebar, on Wednesday from 5 to 7 p.m. followed by removal to St. Anne’s Church, Belcarra.

Requiem Mass on Thursday at 12 noon, followed by burial in Elmhall Cemetery, Belcarra.

May her gentle soul rest in peace.
