CROWN, Kathleen

CROWN - Kathleen SRN SCM - On the First Anniversary of her death, Kay’s son John, grandchildren Katie, Jack, Mia and James, daughter-in-law Orla, surviving sisters Maeve and Rita, nieces, nephews and extended family would like to thank those who showed so much kindness to her during her twilight years and final illness, and to all those who attended her funeral or sent their condolences. We will be forever grateful to the incomparable Sr Bernadette and her outstanding colleagues in Our Lady’s Manor, Dalkey, for their always-compassionate, always-professional care, much of which was delivered in the throes of the pandemic. Special thanks to all the wonderful staff of Cara ward, St Vincent’s Private Hospital, and to Drs Sara McLean, Graham Hughes and Emmet McGrath. Very special thanks also to Maria Dowling whose loyalty and friendship was so important to Kathleen. Thanks also to Fr O’Carroll of Donnybrook parish. Kay, whose life began in her beloved Newbridge in 1926, was a proud graduate of the Meath Hospital School of Nursing, and worked in her profession across six decades. She revelled in the fact that she was the senior surviving member of the Meath Nurses Association, whose kindness and fellowship she enjoyed. If all lives were lived so well the world would be a better place.
