LATE MARY NOLAN

We lost another of our oldtime stock with the death last week of Mary (Moll) Nolan (née Rellis) who passed away after a long lifetime of 81 years. She was a well known and well-loved person in the parish and will be sadly missed by all who knew her. Her funeral took place from Doyle’s Funeral Home, The Old Rectory Rosbercon to Rosbercon Church on Monday evening and following Requiem Mass on Tuesday the remains were taken to Newlands Cross Crematorium for cremation.

Mary was pre-deceased by her husband, Bobby, brothers Jim and Pat and is survived by her brothers-in-law, Séamus and Tommy Nolan, sisters-in-law, Ross and Biddy, nieces, nephews, cousins, and a wide circle of friends. May her gentle soul rest in peace.
