Late Josie Tyrrell
The death occurred peacefully at the Moyne Nursing Home, Enniscorthy on Wednesday, March 30, of Josie Tyrrell (née Kavanagh), Boolabeg, Ballindaggin. Deepest sympathy is extended to her sons Matt and Thomas and to her daughter Helen. Also to her Son-in-law Davy and daughter-in-law Martina and her grandchildren, great grandchildren, extended family and friends.
Josie was in her 98th year and was wife of the late Tom Tyrrell. She was of a kind, caring and gentle personality and a wonderful neighbour and friend to all who had the pleasure of knowing her. She was the oldest resident of the community and her passing will leave a huge void in the Ballindaggin area but especially in her loving family. Josie was laid to rest in Ballindaggin Cemetery on Friday last following funeral Mass in St Colman’s Church. May she rest in peace.
