Kathleen Humphries
(née Higgins)

The death occurred of Kathleen Humphries (1928-2021) (née Higgins,) at Maryfield Nursing Home, Chapelizod, Dublin 20.  Late of 13, Great Western Villas Phibsborough, Dublin and Grattan Street, Portlaoise. Kathleen died, peacefully, in her sleep at Maryfield, a most caring and nurturing place that has been her home for the last three years. She was a mother, greatly loved and treasured. Her children, Ethel, Gerard, Matt, and Colm and their loved ones Gwen, Sandra and Fintan know that a part of them goes with her. She will be greatly missed. Kathleen is mourned also by three generations of grandchildren, nephews, nieces, extended family, former neighbours, fellow residents at Maryfield and friends.

Maryfield provided healing care and love for her and the family. It is a place of welcome and even in Covid restrictions, a place where compassion rather than fear was the watchword.

Due to current government guidelines, a private family funeral will take place for Kathleen. Those who would have liked to attend the funeral, but due to the current restrictions cannot, please leave a personal message for the family in the condolence section below.

Kathleen has returned to Colm and Fintan’s home at Maynooth. She will be removed to Maryfield on Monday evening and her funeral Mass will take place there on Tuesday April 6 at 11am. The liturgy will be livestreamed at https://churchmedia.tv/camera/chapelzoid. Kathleen will be buried after Mass beside her parents and brothers at St Peter & Paul Cemetery, Portlaoise
