Sr. Theophane Doyle

I have such happy memories of Sr Theophane from my time in Presentation School, Rockford Manor in Blackrock. Sr Theophane was a wonderful and enthusiastic teacher. I fondly remember her warm smile, all year round tan and her cycling to mass on a Sunday. I still have the reference she wrote for me to get into nursing.
Rest in eternal peace Sr Theophane.

My daughter still speaks of Sr. Theophane's kindness to her during her time as a boarder in Pres. Thurles. She always looked out for her especially when she was lonely and navigating those difficult times during her teenage years.Thank u Sister Theophane, your kindness hasnt been forgotten.Rest in Peace

Our deepest sympathy to The Presentation Sisters and family of Sr. Theophane.

May she rest in peace

Rest in peace 🙏

We were very saddened to hear of Sr. Theophane's passing. We will miss her Christmas cards packed to the brim with caring blessings and great words of wisdom. My fondest childhood memories with Sr. Theo are when we (as kids) were allowed to run around the ‘convent hotel’ with her (instead of having to be on our best behaviour with the adults in the parlour) and then being paraded like royalty into the dining room afterwards for the best brown bread and jam I have ever tasted. We will miss Theo’s fun energy and great kindness. Patricia Keane (daughter of Tim Keane, Friar Street).

I was saddened to hear of the death of my old school friend Maisie Doyle( Sr. Theophane) .We went through school and college together, and she was the best and brightest. I know she had a long and happy life as a member of the Presentation Community. I will miss her cheerful Christmas card and long letter, with all the local news this year.
May she rest in peace. Frances.

My sincere condolences to all Sr Theophanes family, friends, students and all at the presentation. May your memories be a comfort to you.

I am sorry to learn of Sr Theophane's passing and offer my sympathy to her Presentation Community and to her family. I have warm memories of Theophane and her lively and humorous personality, from the early 2000s, when she used to collaborate with us in Kirwan Park, as she enthusiastically supported the Thurles pupils in winning Concern debates. May her beautiful soul rest in peace.

We are so sorry to hear of Sr Theophane’s death or Sr Theo as we called her. She was so warm and kind to all the students.

She was so excited when the school musicals were on and was always keen to take part in the preparations of same. She was always a delight to see with her warm hello. We will miss you Sr Theo. We are left with lovely memories. Sincere sympathy to the Presentation Community and your nieces and nephews.

Saddened to hear of Sr Theophanes passing.

She really was most welcoming and friendly to every student and accepted them regardless of their rogue status or not.
She always took time to check in and seemed to know when a student really needed it.
She even gave a gift when my first child was born almost 10 years after I'd left school.
She never forgot a face and greeted everyone with a smile.

My sympathy to all who mourn her loss and those who loved her.

May she Rest in Peace.

Our sincere condolences to Sr. Theophanes (Maisie as we fondly knew her) family & to her Presentation convent family on her sad passing.

So saddened to hear of Sr. Theo's death. I thought she'd go on forever!

We had a shared connection through her Doyle, Killenaule and my Kiely, Glengoole families.

Such a high energy, fun, compassionate woman, even up to recent months when she was there for my family during our losses. She called to see my Mother, Chris, not long ago.

Her lovely, smiling face and good humour define my school momories from the Pres.

Rest in Peace, Sr. Theo.
