Seán Stapleton

The death has occurred of

Seán Stapleton
Knocksquire, Borris, Co. Carlow

Peacefully on January 30th, in the tender and compassionate care of the staff of the Cherry Ward, Waterford University Hospital, with his loving family by his side.

Sean, dearly loved and devoted husband of Patsy (née Egars), his best friend and partner throughout life.

Treasured and deeply loved father to Annette, Edward, Kevin, Caroline, & Fionn.

A proud and much adored grandfather to John, Isla, Ethan, Sarah & Zoe.

Sean will be deeply missed and forever remembered with love by his heartbroken wife, daughters and sons, son-in-law Kevin, daughters-in-law Katy & Michelle, sister Eileen, and brother-in-law Peter.

Predeceased by his parents John and Annie Stapleton and his brother Edward.

Sean was a proud family man who took great pride in his parish & community. He will be fondly remembered by many as a man who ‘could fix anything’ and was usually the first person called for any local electrical, plumbing or TV related issue. By others for his almost 60 years of providing entertainment as a member of the Rathanna Drama Group and undoubtedly by so many more for being a little happier for him having crossed their path, such was the measure of the man.

The family wish to extend their sincere and heartfelt thanks to all who cared for Sean, especially the staff of the Waterford University Hospital, for their kindness, compassion and dedication shown to Sean and his family, and also his GP, Dr. Christopher Coffey

May Sean Rest in Peace.

Sean will repose at his residence Villa View, Knocksquire, Borris, Co. Carlow, R95 A899 on Sunday 1st and Monday the 2nd of February from 2-8pm. Prayers each evening at 7.30pm.

Funeral Mass will be held on Tuesday 3rd February at 2pm in Rathanna Church. Followed by burial immediately afterwards in the adjoining cemetery.
