Thank you to everyone from Newcastle Muintir na Tíre

LATE MARY KENNEDY
It is with deep regret we accord the unexpected passing of Mrs Mary Kennedy Newcastle, which occurred at University Hospital Waterford in the presence of her loving family on April 15 last.
A devoted wife, mother and grandmother, Mary was a popular and highly respected Lady with a zen for life and laughs.
She was very involved in the community in the GAA and Scor which family members participated in. Mary will be sorely missed not alone by her family but all who had the pleasure of knowing this lovely and gentle lady.
Mary’s remains were removed from her home to Newcastle Church on April 18 where requiem Mass was celebrated by Fr Michael Toomey in the presence of her Family.
Burial took place in the Old cemetery Newcastle. To her husband Michael, Daughters Lorraine, Rose, Breeda, Ailish, Geraldine, Stacey and Paula. Her sons James and Daniel, Her grandchildren, greatgrandchildren, sons in law, daughters-in-law, Extended Kennedy and Lonergan family.
We offer our deepest sympathies.
May her gentle soul Rest in Peace.
