A Prosperous, Co Kildare woman has been fondly remembered as a 'truly lovely lady.'
Alice Costello (née Cummins) passed peacefully at home on November 27 last, surrounded by her loving family.
Alice is the beloved wife of the late John (Jack). She is deeply regretted by her loving children Mary, John, Brendan and Katrina, son-in-law Sean, daughters-in-law Siobhan and Narissa, beloved grandchildren, nieces, nephews, relatives, friends, her dear friend and niece Mary and her wonderful carers, especially Ann.
May Alice Rest In Peace
Alice will be reposing at her residence on Sunday from 4-8pm, with prayers at 7pm.
The removal will take place on Monday morning at 10.30am to arrive at the Church of Our Lady & St. Joseph, Prosperous for 11am funeral mass, followed by burial in Killybegs Cemetery, Prosperous.
