GRACE, Helen

GRACE, (née Nolan) Helen (Blackrock, Co. Dublin) June 26, 2020. Peacefully, at the NRH, Dun Laoghaire. Her beautiful soul will be terribly missed by her loving husband Ned, and children Leeane and Alan. She is also survived by her granddaughter Ellen, daughter-in-law Niamh, siblings Carmel, Sean, Mary and Olive and her many nieces, nephews, grand-nieces and grand-nephews whom she loved. Helen led a wonderful and happy life with her family and friends. She had an incredible resilliance in staying with us much longer than we thought possible. She felt such joy in meeting her beloved granddaughter, Ellen. She was so loving, a wonderful listener and very bright, a pleasure to spend time with. She has so many friends through her golf, or the coffees after, which she claimed actually held her interest. She spent a generation of summers in Tara Glen where she made some very dear friends. She also made cherished memories on her many trips further afield with Ned. In accordance with government guidelines, a private funeral service will take place. Family flowers only. Those who would have liked to attend the funeral, but due to recent restrictions cannot, please leave a personal message in the ‘Condolences Section’ on www.irishtimes.com. Helen and her family wish to thank the staff at the NRH, Blackrock Hospice, the SVUH ICU staff who gave us such a happy 18 months together and the SVPH Oncology team. ‘We will love you always’
