Sean Lynch

On Saturday, November 3, 2008, the death occurred at the age of 62 of Sean Lynch of Chapeltown, Valentia Island, and the village of Muff in County Donegal.

Sean spent many happy years in Muff, where he and his wife, Maranna, raised their family of five children as he worked as a Customs Official in the Donegal/Derry border.

They had a deep affection for Valentia Island and visited the area annually on a number of occasions.

While the children were young the annual Christmas visits were particularly joyous.

Sean’s 10th anniversary Mass took place on last Saturday in Muff and his family would like his name to remembered on this occasion in his beloved Valentia Island, where he enjoyed so many happy times.
