On the 25th of August in her 103rd year, Joan closed her eyes peacefully for the final time in the tender care of the staff of Carrigoran House, Co.

Rest In Peace. Reposing at Griffin’s Funeral Home, John’s Gate, on Friday, August 28th, from 5pm to 6.30pm. Joan will return to St. Mary’s Church, Athlunkard Street for the final time where a Mass celebrating her life will be offered on Saturday, August 29th, at 10am, followed by Burial with Bob in Mount St Lawrence (Ext.) Cemetery.
