TOBIN, Elizabeth (Lil)

TOBIN - Elizabeth (Lil), (Dundrum, Dublin and formerly of Mountbellew, Co. Galway and Newport, Co. Mayo). Died October 13, 2023 - The Kealy family wish to express our heartfelt thanks to all who sympathised with us on the death of our aunt, Elizabeth (Lil) Tobin. Lil died in her 104th year, after a long and interesting life spent in Newport, Mountbellew and Dublin. Special thanks to relatives, friends and neighbours who attended Lil’s Reposal in Fanagans, and her funeral Mass (including those who joined online) and also to those who sent Mass cards, sympathy cards, letters, phone calls and messages of condolence (including those on RIP.ie and Midwest Radio.ie). We will be eternally grateful to all who ensured that Lil received a dignified and loving farewell, most of all Fr. Fergus O’Donoghue who celebrated the funeral Mass and was a welcome caller to Lil with Holy Communion on the First Friday of every month. Thanks to soloist Raphaela Mangan and organist Josh Johnston for the beautiful music; to all personnel at the Church of the Miraculous Medal, Bird Avenue, Clonskeagh; to Philip Brennan who led Lil’s burial prayers in Glasnevin Cemetery and the Glasnevin Cemetery staff, and to the staff in The Goat restaurant. We would especially like to thank Fanagans of Dundrum, Dublin, for their professional support and kindness throughout the funeral process. Sincere thanks to all those who cared so devotedly for Lil in her final years, including Dr. Knut H. Moe, Dr. Sally Meagher and all at Moe Family Practice; the consultants, doctors, nurses, staff and chaplain at St. Vincent’s Hospital during her brief final illness; the personnel in the Blackrock Clinic during previous illnesses, and Gillian and colleagues from Bluebird Care. Thanks also to Lil’s relatives and friends, particularly those from Galway/Mountbellew/Philadelphia/Newport, who kept in constant touch and brightened her days with their phone calls and visits. As it would be impossible to thank everyone personally, please accept this acknowledgement as a heartfelt expression of our deepest gratitude to you all. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for your intentions.
