Mairead Da Silva
(née Nic Philibín)

Comhbhrón ó chroí le Manuel, Carlos, Artúr, Ana, Tadhg, Sara, and Sadhbh. Mhúin mé le Mairéad i Gaelscoil Uí Fhiaich. Bhain mé taitneamh as an méid comhrá iontach léi. Bhí sí chomh bródúil as a clann. Bean álainn, cneasta, séimh agus flaithiúil í. Bhí Mairéad chomh cruthaitheach agus chuir sí go mór le spiorad na scoile. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam uasal, dílis.

Comhbhrón ó chroí le Manuel agus clann uile Da Silva agus Uí Philibín.

I just found out today 26th of Jan 2022 that mairead has died.
She was an amazing mother earth lady and I loved chatting with her.
I knew her years ago from the mother and toddler group.
She was great for advice and always remember her wise words.
Very sorry for your loss
Ar dheis de go raibh a hanam

Deepest condolences to the Da Silva family on the death of Mairead . A true lady.
John and Gabby Newton and family , Leixlip.

Mairéad of the dancing blue eyes, always twinkling as she listened patiently. The heart of her home was the kitchen. Every month Mairéad would decorate the kitchen with a theme. As for the garden it was always alive. As long as there's cooking in the kitchen and the seasons colour the garden's Foxfordesque quilt Máiréad will be there in the mix and midst of all.
You've just gone on ahead lovely girl and we'll meet you along the way.. Rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to Manuel and family on the sad passing of Mairéad, a lovely lady. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.

Bhí ana bhrón orm a chlos faoi bhás Mhairéad. Bhíomar ag múineadh le chéile I Scoil Santain, Tamhlacht. Múinteoir cumasach, tuisceanach,cruthaitheach agus cneasta ab ea Mairéad agus chuir sí go mór le spiorad na scoile. Máthair ana ghrámhar ab ea í leis. Comhbhrón ó chroí le Manuel, a leanaí, agus a muintir. Leaba í measc na Naomh go raibh aici.

My deepest sympathy to the Da Silva family. I got to know Mairead briefly from working with her in the school garden in Maynooth. She was a lovely lady, with a ready smile and so much knowledge about nature and conservation. It was clear she was enormously proud of her family. May she rest in peace.

Comhbhrón ó chroí le Muintir Da Silva. Bhí an-brón orm cloisteáil faoi bhás Mhairéad ní imithe uainn atá sí, ach imithe romhainn. Bean álainn, cineálta séimh agus beidh meas agam uirthi i gcónaí.

To Mairead’s family. Our deepest sympathy to you all on the passing of such a beautiful lady. We had the joy and privilege of crossing paths in Gaelscoil Uí Fhiaich, Maynooth. Mairead was so loved by everyone for her gentleness, kindness and creativity. Ar Dheis Dé go raibh a hAnam Dílis. The keane Family.

Comhbhrón onár gcroí istigh.

Táimid croí briste ó chualamar an nuacht go bhfuil Mairéad imithe ar shlí na fírinne. Bhí Mairéad ag múineadh sa scoil linn le roinnt blianta anuas, agus d'fhoghlaim mise an oiread sin uaithi i mo sheomra ranga, nósanna beaga a bainim úsáid astu gach uile lá. Smaoineoidh mé uirthi go deo agus an grá, meas agus dílseacht a bhí aici don Ghaeilge agus don mhúinteoireacht. Bean uasal, cineálta, a bheidh linn i gcónaí i nGaelscoil Uí Fhiaich.
Táim ag smaoineamh oraibh uilig Manuel, Carlos, Artúr, Ana, Tadhg, Sara agus Sadhbh agus a muintir go léir.
Bheadh sí chomh bródúil as an aifreann álainn speisialta a thug sibh di inné. Leaba i measc na naomh go raibh aici.

Comhbhrón ó chroí le chlann Da Silva ar bhás Mhairéad. Bhí gean aici ar gach gné den chultúr i rith a saol. Suaimhneas síoraí dá hanam dílis.

Sean so sorry to hear of your sisters passing . May she rest in peace

Comhbhrón ó chroí le Manel, Carlos, Artúr, Ana, Tadhg, Sara, Sadhbh, Elanóra, Séan, Phil agus a muintir uilig ag am a báis.

'Tá an bás
tar éis an bláth
a mhealladh ón gcraobh
tar éis Mairéad a ghlaoch
chun sóláis,
Is Manel ag muirniú
a cuimhní cinn
mar cheirnín lena dhólás.'
(Joe Steve Ó Neachtain)

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam.

Bhí an-bhrón go deo orm a chloisteáil faoi Mhairéad. Is minic a chás muid ar a chéile Tigh Sheáin agus Phil thar na blianta. Duine faoi léith a bhí inti gan dabht: í álainn, suimiúil, éirimiúil, críonna, lách, cineálta, oscailte agus dílis leis...
Bhíodh muid i dteangmháil ó am go chéile ar whats app agus tharla gur chuir mé cúpla teachtaireacht chuici le deirneas: beannachtaí na Nollag agus ina dhiaidh sin, teachtaireacht Chinn Bliana srl. Agus, chomh lag is a bhí sí, fuair mé freagraí deasa dóchasacha ar ais uaithi freisin. Bean uasal a bhí inti cinnte agus meas agus cion i gcónaí agam agus ag 'chúile dhuine eile uirthi, dáiríre. Suaimhneas síoraí dá hanam séimh dílis.

Comhbhrón ó chroí don chlann ar fad. Bean álainn ba í maireád. Ag smaoineamh oraibh go léir ag an am brónach seo.

Mairead was the one of the most wonderful human beings I've had the honor to know. She lead with her heart and made everyone she met feel valued. Her energy and enthusiasm towards family and history was contagious. I will always cherish and be grateful for the memories I have with her. To Carlos and family, please know we are thinking of you at this difficult time and extended our deepest sympathy. Most Sincerely, the Wall Family

With deepest sympathy on the sad news of the death of Mairead Da Silva. R I P . Ruth Mary and Ronnie Warren

B'iontach an deis seal a chaitheamh léi agus ag foghlaim uaithi. Chuir sí suim sna daoine timpeall uirthi agus bhí dóigh iontach aici le páistí. Suaimhneas síoraí dá hanam uasal.

Is mian le Máirín agus Ciarán Ó Coigligh bás Mhairéad a chású lena fear agus lena a clann agus a gar-chlann. B'iontach an bhean í agus ba phribhléid aithne a bheith againn uirthi.

Cumadh 'Mairéad' i ndil-chuimhne ar mo shean-charaid a mhúin go leor dom féin agud dá lán eile i dtaobh creidimh, uaisleachta, agus grá.

Máiréad
Máistreás ar uaisleacht, ar umhlaíocht, ar iompar fíor-chóir –
Aithne na mblianta ar chrá is ar bhuachan is ar chás –
Iarracht ar fónamh gach iarracht ar fhreastal dar ndóigh –
Racht oilc ná an taghd féin níor dhual do do chroí glan án –
Éire na naomh is í ba mhian leat a chaomhnú go deo.
Aistear do shaoil-se do triall ar Dhia is ar Íosa.
D’fheabhasaigh tú an saol seo agus chuir tú i ngort an Tiarna.

Mistress of nobility, humility, appropriate deportment –
A long knowledge of heartbreak, success, commiseration –
Instant success came in serving your God and your neighbour –
Raised voice nor low cut were not of your full pure heart –
Éire’s saintly heritage you cherished.
A journey to God, to Christ your life, your very being.
Digging in God’s field you enhanced all life.

Ciarán Ó Coigligh

Dear Manuel, Ana, Sara, Sadhbh, Carlos, Artur & Tadhg. I am so so sorry for your loss. I loved Maireid. She was such a wonderful friend, full of love and joy. Her ability to pull people in and make them feel welcome was a wonder. She was a wise woman and I learned so much from her about life and Motherhood. I will miss her so much. I was so looking foretold seeing her in the Spring. I will miss that smile ❤️
