The passing of Tom Bermingham

The Diary has learned with deep sadness of the death of Tom Bermingham of Mooretown.

Tom is reposing at his home from 12 noon today, until removal on Friday evening at 6.30pm to the Church of the Sacred Heart & St Brigid, Kilcullen, for arrival at 7pm.

After his funeral mass at 11am on Saturday, Tom will be laid to rest in the Holy Cross Cemetery in Suncroft.

He will be sadly missed by his wife of 50 years, Phena, their children Fr John, Sheila, Catherine, Brendan, Noeleen, Brian, Mary and Thomas; their grandchildren Paul, Marie, Stephen, Siobhan, Aisling, Sophie, Ziyan, Zheng Yi, Ciaran, David, Kevin, Oisin, Emma, Lucas, and Hannah.

Tom and Phena celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary last July.

The family has requested that donations in lieu of flowers can be made, if so wished, to the Michael Garry House for the homeless in Newbridge, for which the Berminghams have hosted fundraising events every December over many years.
