Mary Downes
(née Watson)

We were very saddened to hear of Mary’s passing. She was a wonderful lady who always had a smile on her face.
Mark and Mary were very special to us. We will remember them both very fondly. The thoughtful Christmas meringues handmade by Mary and personally delivered to us in Donnybrook by Mark and then by Mary herself for more than twenty years were immensely delicious and treasured by us.
Our deepest sympathies to her extended family.
May her beautiful soul rest in peace.

So sorry to hear of Mary's death. She has gone to join her beloved husband Mark and my dear wife Maura. No doubt there will be many discussions about lovely gardens and happy days in Rosleague. May they all rest in peace

Our deepest sympathy on the death of a much respected and longstanding member.

We were so sorry to hear of Mary’s death. Both she and Mark were wonderful neighbours for 19years. They were so kind and tolerant of our noisy kids and we shared many a happy evening with them. May her lovely soul rest in peace.

So sad to hear the news of Marys passing. Mark and Mary were such a lovely couple. We have many happy fun memories of the Rosleague Manor October weekends.
