Late Peter Macken, Kiltycon, Moyne, Longford
The death occurred, peacefully, in the wonderful care of the staff of St. Joseph's Hospital and in the presence of his beloved family, on Tuesday, October 24 of Peter Macken, Kiltycon, Moyne, Longford and resident of the Padre Pio Ward, St Joseph's Hospital, Longford.
Peter was predeceased by his sisters Mary and Anna-B, and infant grandson Ronan.
He will be sadly missed and always remembered by his family, his loving wife Elizabeth (Lizzie), daughter Deirdre, sons Peadar, Liam, Ciaran, Enda and Donal, daughters-in-law Maura, Geraldine, Ashling, Michelle and Marise, son-in-law Dermot, his adored (18) grandchildren, nieces, nephews, relatives, neighbours and friends.
Reposed in Connell's Funeral Home, Church Street, Longford, on Wednesday, October 25 from 6pm concluding with prayers at 8pm.
Removal took place from his son Donal and daughter-in-law Marise's home on Thursday, October 26 to arrive to St Mary's Church, Legga for Funeral Mass at 12 noon. Peter was laid to rest afterwards in the New Cemetery in Legga.
Dromard GAA extends its sympathy to Lizzie and the extended Macken family on the death of Peter Macken, Kiltycon.
Peter was a well known and highly respected member of the Dromard Parish community as a successful farmer and agricultural contractor and his loss to the locality since his illness was greatly felt.
The Macken family has made an instrumental contribution to Dromard GAA for many years as players and in management roles.
Ciaran and Enda are senior championship winners with Dromard and had success as the Club’s management team in 2015.
The Club offers its condolences to Peter’s wife Lizzie and sons Ciaran, Enda, Peadar, Liam and Donal and daughter Deirdre and the extended Macken family on their loss.
The legacy left by Longford's Paddy Reehill will stand the test of time
There's a well accepted argument of how the scope and size of a funeral can illustrate that person's standing in their local community.
