Mary Catherine Flood Norton

A FRIEND LIKE YOU.

I feel so blessed to have a friend like you,
When life feels a little heavy, you pull me through,
You support me in my struggles, there for my ups and downs,
Fill me with confidence and always fix my crown,
My therapist, Life coach, with you I share it all,
On the bad days and good days, You’re the person that I call,
Always there to listen, Never one to judge,
Our friendship is too special to ever hold a grudge,
We’ve shared many a laugh and shed many a tear,
Stuck by each others side year after year,
No competition, no jealousy, the love comes so naturally,
And I hope you know you mean the absolute world to me.

Mary
Our love for you
will always keep
it will never fade
it lies too deep

Mammy & Daddy

Sincere sympathy to Mary’s husband, sons and extended family on her untimely death at such a young age. May her gentle soul rest in peace and comfort your lonely hearts.

I worked with Mary on the delivery suit in the Coombe for almost 10 years. Mary was an incredible midwife, colleague and friend. She cared so much for the women in labour. Mary worked so hard and was always ready to help if needed. You will be so missed by all your friends colleagues and most of all your children & husband. Rest in peace Mary it was a privilege to know you x

So so sad to hear of Mary’s passing. Mary was a great midwife and so down to earth. It was an honour to work with her. Rip Mary.

I’m going to miss you so much my friend. We set the world to rights on many a shift. Those who met you can’t help but feel the loss of you.
You were a once off , something truly precious. Sleep easy, till we meet again.

Deepest sympathy Roberta and family. So sorry to hear about Mary’s passing.

IN MY HEART
I thought of you today
But that is nothing new
I thought about you yesterday
And days before that too
I think of you in silence
I often speak your name
Now all I have are memories
And your picture in a frame
Your memory is my keepsake
With which I’ll never part
God has you in his keeping
I have you in my heart

Love you forever and always Mary xxx

Look for me in Rainbows

Time for me to go now, I won't say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, way up in the sky.
In the morning sunrise when all the world is new
Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.

Time for me to leave you, I won't say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, high up in the sky.
In the evening sunset, when all the world is through, Just look for me and love me, and l'll be close to you.
It won't be forever, the day will come and then My loving arms will hold you, when we meet again.

Time for us to part now, we won't say goodbye;
Look for me in rainbows, shining in the sky.
Every waking moment, and all your whole life through Just look for me and love me, as you know I loved you.

Just wish me to be near you, And l'Il be there with you.

Mary was an absolute gem. It was a pleasure to train with her as a midwife in the Coombe Hospital. We enjoyed many laughs together with our colleagues in the staff canteen, and also over a pint after a few Dubs match in Croker. We will never forget Mary's pure heart - she was so humble, honest, and kind to everyone. We send all our love and support to Mary's nearest & dearest. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Feel no guilt in laughter (Anon)

Feel no guilt in laughter, she knew how much you cared,
Feel no sorrow in that smile she is not there to share.
You cannot grieve forever; she wouldn’t want you to
She’d hope that you would carry on the way you always do.
So talk about the good times and the way you showed you cared,
The days you spent together, with all the happiness you shared.
Let memories surround you, or a word someone may say,
will suddenly recapture a time, an hour, a day,
That brings her back so clearly as though she was still here,
That fills you with the feeling that she is always near.
For if you keep those moments, you will never be apart
As your mam, our lovely Mary, will live forever, locked safely in your heart.

Deepest condolences to Marys husband Ben, her children and all her extended family and friends.
I have very fond memeories of training as a general nurse in Tallaght hospital. To this day i still remember the exact seat Mary sat in in the lecture hall. We done many a placement together. Mary was always great crack and had a bit of divilment in her but equally hardworking caring and extremely dedicated to her role as a nurse. Ive no doubt every mum in the coombe were so lucky to have her as their midwife ! May she rest in eternal peace. 🙏

My deepest sympathies Ben and family. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

Deepest condolences to Mary's husband, boys, stepdaughter, parents, siblings, and wider family at this heartbreaking time. Mary was one of the best midwives in the Coombe. Her exceptional skill, but also her extremely kind nature towards women and staff were what made Mary a midwife one would wish to aspire to be like. Her legacy will continue through the knowlege and skill that she imparted on next generation of midwives. Rest in peace.

Mary was simply the best. I was lucky enough to get to know her through many a night shift in the Coombe. To be around her and her amazing friend Colette was to know what a good midwife was. Her laugh and light and how much she supported me personally will be something I’m eternally grateful for. I cannot express how sorry I am to her husband, her gorgeous kids(whom she adored) her family and many friends and colleagues. Her loss is simply immeasurable. Thank you Mary for everything.

My heartfelt condolences to Ben, your sons, your parents, siblings, and close pals in the Coombe.
Your untimely passing is heartbreaking. Your smile and laugh will never be forgotten. You were so kind to the women you cared for and to your colleagues. I’ll never forget the kindness you showed to me personally. Sleep in peace Mary xx

Aw Noeleen and Robert so sorry to hear of you loss. My heart goes out to Ben and family. We will be with you to celebrate her life. Lots of love from David and us

So sorry to hear of the sad passing of Mary. Her compassion, professionalism and good humour will be greatly missed by all her colleagues at the Coombe. Deepest sympathies to all Mary’s family. May she Rest in Peace.

I am heartbroken to hear of Mary’s untimely passing. I had the privilege of training with Mary in the Coombe hospital. She had the best laugh; and her care and compassion for every woman in her care was clear to see to all who knew and worked with her. Mary’s loss to her family and the Coombe Hospital is unimaginable. My sincere condolences to all who loved and knew her .

Our deepest sympathy to Ben, Alex, Jacob, Samuel, Elliot and all Mary's family, our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very sad time, may mary's gentle soul rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy’s to Mary’s husband, children, wider family and friends. It really was a privilege to have known Mary, albeit briefly, to learn from her and work with her. As a student and then junior midwife it felt like there was a huge safety net knowing Mary was on the same shift, one of the best yet most humble midwives I’ve ever known. She was a beautiful person, kind caring and also great fun. I’m sure her loss will devastate anyone who knew her.
