Sincere sympathy to Brigie, to Sheila and to all who are mourning the loss of Mer. May she rest in peace.

Thinking of Mary’s family and loved ones at this sad time. Her love of music will live on with the students she taught, and she’ll be remembered in many concerts and performances to come. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam uasal.

My sympathies to the family of Ms. de Courcy. A truly wonderful passionate teacher and most certainly the coolest.
Rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to Gabriel, Rosanna, Emma and Eoin. May Mary rest in peace.

Sincere condolences to Ms de Courcy's family at this sad time. She was a truly inspirational teacher - I especially loved her geography class. And our school trip to France, Switzerland and Italy. I have no doubt there are many great stories for the family to share and comfort each other. May she rest in peace.💜

Remembered with fondness. She instilled a love of music that has continued all my life. Miss De Courcy was my music teacher in St Ann's many moons ago. Condolences to her family 🙏 RIP

Sincere condolences to Gabriel and to the de Courcy family on Mary's untimely passing.

So sorry to hear of the passing of Ms De Courcy . Condolences to her loved ones and may she RIP

So sad to hear this news. Mary was my geography teacher at StAnns and honestly I don’t think I would ever have finished school, let alone create a life loving travel, adventure and geography, without her influence and care. She was more than a teacher to so many of us. Much love and strength to her family at this time. Rest well Mary- you left a huge legacy.

I was lucky enough to have Ms Decourcey as my music teacher ,she was such a lovely lady and a wonderful teacher.
May her gentle soul rest in peace.

To Anna, Brigie, Sheila & Catherine, sincere condolences to you all & to Gabriel and extended family on the loss of Mary. Thinking of you all.

Deeply saddened to hear of Mary’s passing. A vibrant, considerate and kind neighbour, and a friend to many. She always had a smile and a fun conversation whenever we met. She created a real sense of community around her and was sensitive and supportive to those she knew.

I shall miss seeing her, waving over or passing the time of day. A truly lovely lady.

My condolences to her family, who loved her deeply.

I am very saddened to hear of Mary's death. I shared time with her on the Editorial Board of Inside Out. (I.A.H.I.P). She was very warm, witty and welcoming to me as a new member. Codladh sámh, Mary.

Deepest sympathies on the untimely death of the lovely Mary to her devoted husband Gabriel, to her beloved children Eoin, Emma & Rosanna and their families & to Mary’s sisters and extended family. I had the great good fortune to meet Mary when the two of us worked in the former Mount St Anne’s Secondary School in Milltown & we kept in touch during the different iterations of our lives. Mary was always elegant, her eye for beauty, colour and detail evident in her gorgeous home in Booterstown. The magnificent garden she created was a delight. More than anything I’ll miss the wonderful conversations we enjoyed and her impish sense of humour. I admired how she found much to celebrate during the extremely difficult circumstances of recent years. Her love for Gabriel, her children and grandchildren was always evident. Unfortunately, we’ll be away and unable to attend the funeral, but we’ll be with you in spirit. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis.

I remember with fondness the music lessons in the early 80’s in the musty basement of St. Anne’s school. She was a lovely teacher and she loved teaching music. May she rest in peace x

Gabriel, my sympathies to you and yours, on this sad loss.

My deepest sympathy Gabriel, to you and your children. Xxx

Fond memories of Ms DeCourcy. A wonderful passionate kind and thoughtful teacher my she rest in peace

My deepest sympathies to Mary's family. Despite her own health troubles, Mary went out of her way to empathise with others of us in the choir who had a brush with cancer. She was a lovely woman with great humour and sound good sense and will be much missed.

Deepest sympathy to Gabriel, Eoin and families.
