Sr. Rose Macken

We were very sad to hear of Sr. Rose's death. Our deepest sympathy to her family and to the Sisters of Mercy. Sr. Rose was one of our Dublin Street neighbours, always friendly, fun and with lots of time for us children. She was such a nice person, a terrific teacher who had great respect, kindness and lots of encouragement for all of us in her class. She was very talented, teaching and passing on her love of music and singing to us. We have the loveliest memories of her.

Rest in Peace Sr. Rose. I remember you as such a kind gentle lady. A spiritual and caring person to all. I was privileged to know you and work alongside you during our time in the Family Life Centre in Boyle. We kept in touch after you retired and that was a precious time for me.
Sincere sympathy to all the family.

I just heard of Sr Roses passing- It is only now looking back that I realise what an amazing woman we had in our midst- She coordinated such a troop of children to sing in such harmony, in such a gentle gracious way. She opened up the world of music and choirs to us . We were so lucky to have her. May she rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy, on the death of Sr. Rose, to her nephews, niece, extended family and fellow Sisters of Mercy of the Western Province.
We loved having Sr. Rose in Convent of Mercy, Boyle. She endeared herself to many in the Boyle community. Children appreciated her visits to the classrooms.

Deepest sympathy to all of Sr Rose’s extended family and to the Mercy Community. I remember her with fondness. Although I didn’t have her as a class teacher I was lucky enough to have been in choirs she taught both at primary and secondary schools in Longford. She certainly helped to instil a love of choral music in me which has lasted all my life. She was kind and fair and had a lovely warm personality and I think she was very happy in her job as a teacher and in her vocation. I always loved to have a chat with her any time our paths crossed over the years.

I'm lonesome to hear of the passing of dear Sr. Rose. She was my teacher in 6th class in Longford Convent .....she was a kind, caring & brilliant teacher and she was a big influence in my life. I was fortunate to be able to visit her over the years as she remained that kind & caring person right up to the end. I was sorry to be unable to attend her funeral but I earnestly pray that God will welcome her home to her heavenly reward of peace and happiness which she so deserves.

I am reading of Sr Rose’s death as her burial takes place. Sr Rose worked alongside many of us in what was then known as the Family Life Centre in Boyle, offering spiritual accompaniment and direction as well as conducting many moving and focused prayer moments for our teams of staff, volunteers and users. Her naturalness and openness were infectious thus facilitating a realness and an interconnection that deepened commitment within the various threads of our focus on bereavement, therapeutic engagement and the remedial work necessary after the experience of domestic violence. Her spirituality was truly a gift to so many. May Rose be warmly within the embrace of the communion of saints that she yearned to join. With gratitude I will be remembering her and all who grieve her at the altar.

So sad to hear of the passing of Sr Rose...wasn't teacher for a number of years in Longford....always a gentle kind teacher.....may her Gentle Soul rest in peace 🙏

Dearest Sr Rose was always a kind and loving teacher to us all in the early 90s. In later years , I would visit her in the Manor and she remained the same, a smiling happy and caring woman.
Sincere condolences to her extended families and the Sisters of Mercy.
