Sr Mary gave so much to the Business Studies Teachers' Association of Ireland (BSTAI) and members of the association are deeply saddened by her passing.

Sr Mary joined the BSTAI early in her teaching career, and she served as secretary of the Limerick branch for many years. She served on the national executive of the association for a long number of years, taking up many positions including SARG representative, TPN funding coordinator and national secretary. Her motivation stemmed from her love of her subjects and her determination to get the best possible outcome for all of her students. Her tenacity in securing the maximum possible funding for our association enabled our branches throughout the country to thrive in supporting business students and teachers. She was very much a lifelong learner, gaining qualifications in ICT, adult education and educational management, and she generously shared her new skills and knowledge with us.

She was such an impressive and exceptional lady with a great sense of humour, and her presence on the national executive was greatly missed after her retirement. She is fondly remembered and spoken of often. She was a trailblazer who inspired all of us who had the privilege of working with her.

May she rest in peace.

Our sincerest condolences to the O'Connell family and Sisters of Mercy, especially Sr Eucharia and Sr Ann on the sad passing of beloved Sr Mary. She meant so much to so many people and will be remembered as an outstanding teacher, mentor, organiser of educational outings for her students, photographer, supporter of Clare GAA, an advocate for any student who had the good fortune to have her in Kilkee (including our own 3). Most of all Sr Mary was a friend to us and we are heartbroken by her death. She did so much for everyone and will be sorely missed by everyone who had the fortunate privilege to know her. Sr Mary, i hope you will meet all your beloved and adored family in heaven. Thank you for all you did for everyone and for just being you. Rest in peace, our dear Sr Mary.

A Wonderful Teacher and Friend to Everybody. Rest in Peace Sr Mary you will never be forgotten.

My sincere sympathy to the O'Connell family, Mercy Sisters and many friends of Sr. Mary. She taught me Commerce in Nenagh back in the mid 1970 and I remember her warmth and kind spirit as a teacher and at the end of that school year took us students on hiking trip to Connemara staying in a hostel, what a trill for us then getting a trip away with lots of fun while hiking, walking and cooking together, certainly a great character building experience. It's been a privilege to have known you and be touched by your positivity. May Sr Mary rest in eternal Peace reunited with her parents and brothers. R.I.P.

At school in Kilkee, St Mary's kindness 😇 and gentleness left an everlasting impression, while at the same time, she was full of energy: she just had a great aura 💞 I remember her reading a full book to us so that we could just enjoy it: just listening made us feel calm and transported. It's funny what little incidents leave a lasting impression. RIP Sr Mary 🤍 You will be sadly missed 😔 💔

I wish to express my deepest condolences to Michael, Gearóid, Ann, Bríd and Bernadette, the O’ Connell extended family, Sr Eucharia, Sr Ann and the Mercy Community on the passing of your beloved Mary. Mary was ever present throughout our childhood and into adulthood popping into our home as cousin Mary. Mary never arrived empty handed, laughter could be heard and multiple cups of tea were had. Mary was such an extraordinary woman. Her intelligence, generosity, and unwavering willingness to share her time and knowledge touched so many lives. I was very fortunate that when I started out in my teaching career Mary took me under her wing, her wise words of wisdom and encouragement had no bounds. She had a rare gift for lifting others up, and her legacy will live on through all those she inspired and mentored. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. May Mary’s memory be a blessing and a guiding light for us all.

My sincere sympathy to Sr Mary's family, to Sr Eucharia and Anne in K8lkee, and the Mercy sisters in the diocese of Killaloe, on the death of Sr Mary. I had the privilege to work with Mary during my entire teaching career, she was an amazing colleague and friend. Her love ,support and advice was endless to me for which i will be eternally greatful. Sr Mary's contribution to the college and the community of Kilkee was incredibly. She was a brilliant woman and her thirst for knowledge was endless. Not onlly did students learn Business Studies, but that learning went way beyond the classroom. She opened up the wonder of nature and the world to them,and instilled it them a since of awe and reverence for all of God's creations Her legacy will never be forgotten, for the love in our hears will always have the name of Sr Mary.
