John Noel Browne

It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of John Noel Browne, Knockeen, Meelin, Newmarket, Co. Cork, and more recently Teach Altra Nursing Home.

On Thursday, 31st July 2025, John Noel slipped away peacefully, in the kind and gentle care of Mercy Hospital, Cork, surrounded by his loving family.

Predeceased by his parents Katty (née O’Flynn) (1951) and Peter (1999), his infant siblings Bridget Marie (1948), Jeremiah Martin (1951), brother Paddy (2021), and nephews, Peter McCloskey (2006), Denis Murphy (2012) and Peter Browne (2024).

Also predeceased by brothers-in-law, Donncha Murphy (1990), Aidan A. McCloskey (2019) and sister-in-law Margaret Browne (2022).

Dearly loved brother of Mary (McCloskey, Limerick & Kilrush), Philip (Clonkeen) & Nora (Murphy McCarthy, Meelin).

Treasured Uncle to Joseph, Aida & St.John (Mary), Catherine & Donal (Philip), Denis, Patrick, Anthony & Kathryn (Paddy RIP), Kathy (Nora), and grandnephews & grandnieces.

Beloved brother-in-law to Margaret Browne (Meens) and Ted McCarthy (Meelin).

John Noel is greatly missed by his Teach Altra family.

A gentle and lovable soul, he was a true friend to all in his native Meelin. Among his greatest pleasures was watching GAA Matches on television, a simple joy that brought him great happiness. His daily walk to the village shop, followed by a quiet visit to the Church to light a candle, formed part of a cherished routine – now sadly, no more.

Reposing at O’Reilly’s Funeral Home, Newmarket, on Sunday evening 3rd August from 6.30 pm to 8 pm, followed by removal to St Joseph’s Church, Meelin.

Requiem Mass on Monday 4th August at 12 o’clock, followed by burial at Clonfert Cemetery.

Solas na bhFlaitheas ar a anam uasal.
