Belated Death Notice and First Anniversary of Carmel Theresa Murphy née Fahy of Anglont, Killorglin, Co. Kerry, formerly of McDonagh Tce., Curragh and Langton Park, Newbridge, Co. Kildare.

Is with deep sorrow that we share the passing of Carmel who departed this life on November 27 2024, after a long illness, in Willowbrooke Care Home, Castleisland, Co. Kerry in the presence of her husband Matt, daughter Annette and son Damien.

Though time has passed since her departure, the weight of her absence is still felt profoundly by all who knew and loved her.

Carmel was a cherished mother, remembered for her kindness, good humour, wisdom and the countless ways she touched our lives with her fabulous singing voice. Her legacy lives on in the stories we tell, the lessons we carry and the love that remains.

We regret not having shared this notice sooner, but our hearts have never stopped honouring her memory.

A private cremation was held in The Island Crematorium, Ringaskiddy on December 2nd 2024 attended by her husband Matt, daughter Annette, son Damien and a sincere thanks to her niece Sandra, nephew Paul and his wife Michelle and their children Erin and Cara who supported us on the day.
