The Passing of Carmel Kennedy

We have learned with a deep personal sadness of the death of Carmel Kennedy, Knockbounce.

Your editor has lasting memories of Carmel over many years when she worked for my parents, Jim and Monica Byrne, in the Hideout, and later for my late brother Des. Her unfailing good humour is what stands out most in my recollections of her.

She is survived by her sisters Helen, Bridie, Kay and Mary, and her nephew Niall and niece Louise.

Carmel is currently reposing at Doyles Funeral Home, Ballymount. Removal will take place at 10.30am tomorrow (Monday) to arrive at Kilcullen Parish Church at 11 o'clock. Interment will take place immediately after Requiem Mass in New Abbey Cemetery.

May her soul rest in peace.
