Rita Cosgrave
(née Hayden)

Rita was the very first person I met in HOK I handed my cv to her and she arranged an interview. She welcomed me on my first day and checked in on me often. Respected by everyone. I never saw her hassled or stressed she was cool calm and collected. With a twinkle in her eye often. RIP

Sincere condolences to Rita’s extended family and friends. I have often thought of Rita over the years. It was great having her at the Admin helm in OK&M and HOK. She formed my first impressions of ‘Girl Power’ - thank you Rita and may your gentle soul rest in peace.

Rita was so kind to me when I worked in OKM and then HOK from 1985 into the 1990’s. She had a great sense of fun and looked after us all.
We had lots of great times together. I will remember those times very fondly . May she rest in peace. Sincere condolences to her family.

Rita always minded her Girls in HOK. A Lady with a big heart..May Rita rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to all, have lovely memories of her from her HOK days.

I worked with Rita in the early HOK days. She ran the place. What a strong and powerful woman with a caring heart. Never frazzled or panicked and always there for all of her colleagues. Very sad news and I offer my sympathies to all of her family.

Deepest sympathy to the Cosgrave family on the passing of Rita, may she rest in peace.

With Sincere Condolences To Clodagh, Fiachra, Lorcan, Colm, Phelim, Nijole, and Sinéad, at this sad time. Thinking too of the grandchildren who held such a place in Rita's heart.
May the many lovely times you shared with Rita & Frank bring memories of love and laughter to all you in the times ahead.

Rita was blessed to have had you constantly by her side Clodagh, caring for her, sharing true companionship and enjoying true and happy family time together with you, Fiachra, Lorcan, Nijole and the Girls.

I hold some fond memories of the times we enjoyed in the company of Frank and Rita - and I know they will be happily reunited now, smiling as they meet again.

A life well lived Rita - Respect to You - May the road rise to meet you as journey towards Frank and may you find a soft bed to lay your head. - R.I.P.

We are very sad to hear of Rita's passing. Condolences to the Cosgrave family and to her all friends. May Rita rest in peace.

Deepest condolences on the death of dear Rita.

Rita was so kind to me when I joined Hamilton Osborne King, she was generous with her time and was always my "go to" person when I needed any help. She was a really lovely lady with a great sense of fun. May she rest in peace.

Condolences to Clodagh and all of Ritas beloved family..We are thinking of you all at this sad time..Rita was such a lovely lady and her presence will be missed dearly by both staff and residents in Suncroft Lodge..Rip Rita...now reunited with your beloved Frank....

A wonderful mother figure who minded me when I joined Osborne King and Megran in Dublin in 1971. She was always helpful and highly efficient but sometimes a girlish giggle gave away her real soft heart. I have always remembered her many kindnesses. She is in my prayers.

Very sad that one of my oldest childhood friends Rita has died. Many fond memories of growing up together from the age of 3. Rest in Peace Rita. Renee xx
