Dolores (Delo) Collier

Sincere condolences to the Collier family on the passing of Delo. Delo was a great friend of my mam, Joan Ruddle from their college days and Dominican hall. She was very good to me when I was in college and I worked in No.29. She always had so much interest in what all the students were doing and provided lots of encouragement and support. May she rest in peace. Niamh

Deepest sympathy to Helen, PJ and all the Collier family on the passing of your beloved Delo. I got to know her during her time with the Corrib Folk group. She and the group came to practice in our home at times. I remember her as a wonderful Singer, Harpist and more especially a beautiful young lady, full of encouragement. May her kind and talented soul Rest in Peace. Margaret Cunningham

Delo has been a wonderful friend for over 40 yrs. She was always engaged in activities supporting others. She particularly loved supporting young people find their way in life through music incl Finghin Collins & Sophie Cashell. She loved her involvement in Galway Civic Trust, Music for Galway & Comhaltas Ceoltoiri Eireann.
She was an inspiration in her determination to get results for others. But most of all she was a kind & special friend who will be sadly missed. Sincerest sympathies to Helen & Mullally & Collier families.

Great memories of a wonderful
person. She was most helpful and dedicated in all her endeavours. Rest in Peace, Delo

Comhbhrón ó chroí libh PJ agus Helen ar bhás Dello.
I got to know Dello through various collaborations between Áras na nGael in Galway and the Galway Civic Trust, in particular through various employment schemes and through many many meetings.
I think Delo was one of the most selfless and community driven people that I have been lucky enough to meet. She believed in community and in the concept of good citizenship and in taking personal responsibility for the betterment of the community rather than staying on the sidelines or just walking away.
She was a redoubtable woman, steadfast and unstinting in her advocacy work, but a woman with a great sense of humour and a mischievous twinkle in her eye when it suited.
Céad slán abhaile Dello agus míle buíochas as gach a rinne tú ar feadh do shaol.

Sincere sympathy to PJ, Helen, and all family members on the death of Delo. She was a great person. After her distinguished career in the ESB, she made a big contribution to Galway, especialy with her work for the Civic Trust and the Galway Archaeological and Historical Society, serving for many years as its treasurer.

Sincere sympathy to all who mourn the passing of Delo. Got to know Delo while serving on the board of Galway Civic Trust. She devoted a lot of her time to protecting and promoting the heritage of Galway City in a voluntary capacity. Had a unique ability to work with people and get things done. Always a smile and a positive outlook. Galway owes Delo a huge debt of gratitude for her years of voluntary service. May she rest in eternal peace.

Helen, PJ and all the Collier family, sincerest sympathy to you on the passing of Delo, a work colleague for many years.
Remembering, also, the early years of the Corrib Folk and many nights of music and song.
