Ann Kearney
(née Sorah)

I spent a beautiful day with Ann with our stalls at Temple Bar. It was a good few years ago now but as soon as I heard the sad news it brought me back to that day. We bonded over her beautiful Liberty Fabrics and our mutual love of fabric and costume. She spoke about wanting the best for her boys and sending them to a gealscoil only to discover that learning Irish was not so easy for her! I told her not to worry it was not easy for anyone! She had such a lovely energy, warmth and humour that day and I was so sad to hear of her passing. My sincere sympathies to her family, mentioned often that day.

Sincere and heartfelt condolences to Jim, Seán and James.
Ann was an awesome lady, with a great sense of humour and a very contagious laugh. She brightened everyones day, even on the cold damp winter days as we stood outside the Gaelscoil, while the kids played together in the Memorial Park. They were the best days. Thank you for the memories and laughter Ann.
Rest in Peace.

Our sincere sympathy to all the family. May Ann rest in peace. From all at Galtymore Dental.

To James Snr. Jim. I am very sorry to be so late in leaving my condolences but I only heard this awfully sad news today as I have not been in Cabra for about six weeks. I can only say that I am thinking of you and the lads. Laura Tighe. Relief staff Laura.

I am so sorry to hear that Ann has died. We had many chats around the Gaelscoil. She was so friendly, funny and talented. I have her beautiful Liberty print cushion covers at home.
My condolences to her family on this enormous loss. May she rest in peace.

So very sorry to hear this sad news. Heartfelt condolences to Ann's family and friends. She was always friendly, interesting and witty at the gaelscoil gates and we loved seeing her beautiful creations at local markets. Ar dheis De go raibh a hanam.

Rest in eternal peace, kind gorgeous Ann….You were one of a kind with an infectious laugh & incredible personality…
From your Brigid Moore days & bias cut dresses to Gaelscoil & Liffey Gaels, from
Howth Cottage Market to Swan Lake and from Irish dancing costumes to evening dresses, and all the laughter and cuppas in between, you were brilliant! You will
be missed!

Ann had wonderful artistic hands Ann made so many costumes for school plays for Gaelscoil Inse Chór and usually came in with her ideas as soon as the plays were announced.

Our deepest condolences to Séamus & Seán on the incredible sad loss of your mam & to James & her extended family our deepest sympathy. I remember Ann fondly & always enjoyed chatting with her during our school drop off/pick up days. May she rest in peace, 🙏

My deepest condolences to James and Sean on the passing of their mam, Ann. May she rest in peace.

Ann was funny, kind, talented, always cheerful. I first met her in Newmarket Square. From that first meeting, i looked forward to seeing her again and again. She had a fierce sense of fairness and justice and always lived by her principles, never fearing those who didnt share her values. It's so sad her life hasn't been longer. Sometimes it's the quality, not the quantity, that counts. But that is surely no consolation to her grieving friends and her dear family. Condolences to all. Rest in peace lovely Ann. Margaret xx

Tuismitheoir agus cara a bhí in Ann le linn mo chuid ama i nGSIC. Bean lách, séimh le spiorad iontach. Ag smaoineamh ar Jim, Seán agus Séamas inniu agus amach anseo.
Go dTuga Dia Suaimhbeas ar a hAnam Uasal.

Mo chomhbhrón ó chroí. Bean álainn, is críonna, cineálta is cairdiúl. Ball álainn de phobal na scoile i rith an tréimhse nuair a bhí na buachaillí linn. Táimid ag smaoineamh ar Jim, Seán agus Séamus. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis.

I have written a message already but my partner Dónal insisted that I write on his behalf. Dónal met Ann last week in James’s as they were on a similar journey. His eyes filled when I told him. Dónal loved Ann as I did but in his own independent way. He asked that much love be sent to Jim, Sean, James and brother James.
Much much love.

Ann was one of the world’s incredible people. Talents abound, I think her proudest talent was the gift of nurture and undoubtedly as a mother and always more for her friends. I’m proud to say I was her friend. There will never be anyone like Ann. Thank you Jim, Sean and James for embracing me into your fold. Ann was a queen, I think she’d like to be described as a queen. She was my queen. Thank you Ann. Love you girl! XÚna
