Natasha O'Donoghue
(née Lynch)

Hi. I met Natasha as a patient in the Mercy hospital while we were both undergoing treatment in December. She told me her story and we cried together. I often thought of her afterwards. It says alot about her that she was happy for me because I had a good prognosis even though her path was quite different. She expressed her love for her family and seemed like a warm and caring woman. My heart breaks for you.

our thoughts are with Natashas family and everyone at EF, a incredible teacher and mentor to all. May she rest in peace, she will be missed dearly.

Thinking of Wayne, Matthew, Ben and the rest of Natasha’s family and friends during this time. Natasha was always incredibly kind to me whilst I was taking part in her EF Dublin workshops. Her sense of humour and love for helping others was indescribable. She has helped so many students to reach their full potential in French and Irish and she will be sorely missed by all. R.I.P Natasha x

Sincere condolences to the Lynch and O'Donoghue families on your deep loss. Natasha will be fondly remembered by all her students in EF including my children, Rachel and Darragh. She leaves a lasting legacy and I hope that gives you some comfort in the days and months ahead.

My sincere condolences to the family of Natasha. I am very saddened to hear of Natasha's passing. I only got to know Natasha over the 2019/2020 school year when I registered my son with Essential French. She was such a positive influence to the LC 2020 students. Her daily updates on Instagram and her words of wisdom when Covid happened and exams got cancelled kept all those students positive and upbeat. May she rest in peace.

I attended Essential French for my Transition Year in 2015. From then on I followed Natasha religiously on social media through my Leaving Cert years. I will always remember Natasha as being like a ray of sunshine every time she entered the room. My admiration for her positive attitude and her selflessness is immense and something I aspire to be. Thanks for all the help and the laughs you provided us with through our exam years Natasha. You made it that bit more enjoyable. My sincere sympathy to her family and those close to her. May she Rest in Peace.

Sending my sincere condolences on the passing of Natasha. Natasha was a truly inspirational woman, so passionate about what she believed in and went above and beyond for everyone. She will be missed by so many but will forever be in our hearts. Thinking of you all at this time.

My deepest condolences to all your family. It was an absolute pleasure to have attended Natasha's classes for 2 years, I have never come across someone with such a natural gift and enthusiasm for teaching and learning. Natasha's passion passed on to all students, and personally, ignited a love of French. Along with being a fantastic teacher, she was an amazing business woman and could inspire just about anyone to go out and achieve their goals. Throughout my time at EF she spoke frequently about her 2 boys, it was clear how adored and loved they were. Rest in peace Natasha, you will be missed by so many.
