Tributes have poured in for Rita Keogh who sadly died recently, leaving many people in Longford heartbroken.
Rita will be sadly missed by her loving family, brother John, sisters Mary and Breege (Keogh Kenny) and her partner Eamon Cunnane, brother-in-law Barry, sisters-in-law Deirdre and Eilish, nephews and nieces Sarah, James, Aileen, Joseph, Melissa, Mary and Adrienna, grand-nephews and grand-nieces, relatives, neighbours and her many great friends.
Heartfelt messages have been left on RIP.ie, from those who knew and loved Rita, with one mourner writing,
"Sincere sympathy to the Keogh family on the sad passing of Rita, a loving sister, aunt and daughter in law. I have great memories of Rita who was loved and cherished in her home in Kilnatruhan, a devoted member of our parish community; her gentle and loving nature endeared her to all who knew her. Rita is praying for her grieving family and all of us from her place in heaven. United now with her dear mother Una, her brother Jim, and all her family who have predeceased her. I regret I was unable to attend Rita’s funeral. Rest in peace. Prayers offered".
