Marcela Monteza

Formerly of Polanco, Philippines

It is with deep sadness that the relatives of Marcela share the news of her death with you. Marcela died, age 54 peacefully after battling with Cancer which she bore with great privacy and dignity. She died in the wonderful care of all the staff of the Mater Hospital, Dublin surrounded by her cousins Lydia, Estela, Danessa, Rosalin and her employers Brian and Caitriona.

 

Dearly beloved daughter of Carmelita and the late Benvienido (Philippines) and much-loved sister of Alexander, Martino, Santiago, Marife and Felipe. Deeply mourned and missed by her mother, brothers and sister, aunties and uncles, sisters-in-law, brother-in-law, nieces and nephews in the Philippines. Fondly remembered by her friends and the extended family in Ireland and the Philippines.

 

“May the road rise to meet you.

May the wind be always at your back.

May the sunshine warm upon your face,

the rains fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again,

May God hold you in the palm of His hand"
