Mary Ruane
(née Cunningham)

The death occurred peacefully on 27th January 2023 in Mayo University Hospital of Mary Ruane, née Cunningham,  76 McHale Road,  Castlebar and formerly of Thomas Street,  Castlebar.

Predeceased by her husband Johnny,  her parents John and Mary,  her brothers Johnny Cunningham,  Pa Cunningham and Sean Corley,  her sisters Ann Roberts and Gay Benham.

Loving mother of Ann Mohan (Turlough) and   John,  Pat, Robert,  Declan and Kevin (all Castlebar). She will be sadly missed by her loving sons and daughter,  her adored grandchildren Lee,  Emma,  Leona,  Finn,  Luke, Nathan, Holly and Stefan,  her brothers Kevin (Breaffy) and Raymond (Castlebar),  son-in-law Pat,  daughters-in-law Della,  Frances,  Lorraine and Sandra,  nephews, nieces, cousins, sisters-in-law,  brothers-in-law,  relatives,  neighbours and many friends.

Aged 84 years, Mary was well liked and respected by all those she came into contact with in her work in Davitt House and in  Castlebar Garda Station,  where she worked for over 40 years. Her closest friends were her neighbours on McHale Road where she was loved by all.   Mary was very sociable and she loved nothing more than meeting and chatting with the crowds she met on match days in McHale Park.  She enjoyed the  bingo sessions where she met friends old and new. She took great pride in her garden but getting her hair done and heading out with members of her family for Sunday lunch was the highlight of her week.

May her gentle soul rest in eternal peace.
