Cordaella, Shaula and Leda, we’re very sorry to hear of your amazing Mum’s sudden passing. We remember Sile from her early epic days with dear Arthur at college & round Dublin. We enjoyed a great family holiday in Brittany & met often & happily during the summer in Donegal. Sile was vibrant company at art exhibitions, parties & dinners out. She was totally committed to Arthur, her beautiful daughters & gorgeous grandchildren. She’ll live on in our thoughts, prayers & memories. Love from James Rachel &The Coyles

My deep sympathy to the family and friends of Sile who has departed. She and Arthur are fondly remembered by us.

Leda, I am very sorry to hear about your mum’s death. I have such clear memories of her from when we were in school—she was so interesting and fun-loving. My sincere condolences to all the Connaughton-Deeny family.

On behalf of our President Alex, the committee and all players and associates of Arthur’s Knights I am saddened to have to send this message of condolence to Leda, Shaula & Cordaell and the wider Coonaughton-Deeney family. You will be held in our thoughts and prayers and we hope that the pain of loss will soon pass and leave only those many wonderful memories of Síle - and Arthur - that will carry you through your bereavement.

To Cordaella, Ross and the Connnaughton Deeny Family,

Cordaella, Shaula and Leda, I’m so sorry to hear of your beautiful Mum’s passing. My thoughts are with you all at this heartbreaking time. May Síle rest in peace x

Sile Connaughton-Deeny elegantly combined her career as a widely respected and influential figure in the world of Irish contemporary art with her life as a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She brought the work of some of Ireland’s most talented artists to the attention of a wider public at the Jorgensen and Oriel galleries. Her lucid, perceptive and illuminating analyses of their paintings and sculptures reflected her deep knowledge of art history and wide reading. We offer our heartfelt condolences and profound sympathy to her daughters Leda, Shaula and Cordaella. Their academic achievements and successful careers brought pride and joy to her and her greatly loved and greatly missed husband Arthur Deeny.

My deepest condolences on the loss of your dear Mum. Thinking of you all at this sad time and also remembering the lovely Arthur whom we were all so fond of here in Javelin. RIP x

Shaula, Simon, Arthur, Zoe and all the Connaughton Deeny family. We are so sorry to hear of your mum and granny’s passing. We are thinking of you and wishing you strength as you navigate these difficult days.

Sincere condolences. May your mum's memory be a blessing. Thinking of you at this very sad time.

Leda; Shaula; Cordaella: so sad to learn of Sile’s death. We have great memories of her and your Dad from various escapades around town and usually connected to our time studying at the Inns, cricket and weddings. Wishing you all strength in the coming days and the time thereafter. RIP Sile.
