Mullahoran mourns death of friendly and chatty lady with a great sense of humour
Late Breege Tierney (née McCabe), Percy French Park, Ballyjamesduff, Cavan / Kilcogy, Cavan
The death occurred peacefully at Cavan General Hospital on Wednesday, March 13 last of Breege Tierney (nee McCabe), Percy French Park, Ballyjamesduff and late of Kilcogy, Co Cavan.
Deceased was a member of the McCabe family who owned a provisions store and ran the post office in Kilcogy village for a number of years and when her brother Ownie McCabe passed away it was taken over by the Reilly family until it was closed in 2013, having suffered the fate of many other rural P.O’s.
Breege was predeceased by her husband Seamus a few years ago who was a noted fiddle player and musician and when they resided in nearby Clonlohan their house was a great meeting place for a ceili and a seisiun.
Breege was a friendly and chatty lady with a great sense of humour and loved having visitors to her home for a cup of tea. She was also predeceased by her son Martin and grandson Valentine crosses which she bore with great courage and dignity.
We extend our sincere sympathy to her children Marie, Thomas, Tony and Michael and her sister Roisin, son-in-law, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, greatgrandchildren, neighbours, carers and extended family members.
Her remains reposed at Briody’s Funeral Home, Kilnaleck on Thursday evening, March 14 and following funeral mass in St Joseph’s church, Ballyjamesduff burial took place to Mullahoran cemetery.
May her gentle soul rest in peace.
