CLARKE, Anne (Née Hegarty) (Clonmeen, Rhode, Co. Offaly and late of Sonna, Slanemore, Mullingar) – - Died May 3rd 2019.  Anne’s family, Therese, Eithne, Michael, Noel, Finbarr, Kevin and Eamon, her sons-in-law Ned and John, her daughters-in-law Martina, Denise, Elisabeth and Mandy, her grandchildren Laura, Maeve, Katie, Aoife, Jenny, Barry, Eleanor, Sarah, Amy, Emma, Katherina, Ali, Sophia and Francesca; her sisters Mary (Kinnegad), Pat (Herbertstown), her brothers Eamon (Ballinagore), Joe (Ballybofey), Michael (Dublin) and her brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, wish to express their sincere gratitude to everyone who supported and sympathised with them on their sad loss of Anne; all who telephoned; sent Mass cards; sent letters and cards; made donations to North Offaly Community Development Network; called to the house; attended prayers, Mass and funeral, many of whom travelled long distances to be with the family.

A special word of thanks to Fr Greg Corcoran, to the Rhode & Croghan Choirs and organist; to the readers, soloists, gift-bearers, servers and Eucharistic ministers, all of whom helped to make the Mass special and meaningful.

We also wish to thank Patrick Larkin and Tommy Doyle, undertakers, for their professional manner, advice and guidance.

We, her children, wish to express our warmest thanks to all our family, friends, her carers and neighbours who supported us during this time, and whose continued support is much appreciated and needed.

As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, please accept this acknowledgement as a token of our sincere and heartfelt appreciation.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was offered for your intentions in Rhode on 28th March 2020.
Anne (and her husband Barry’s 10th anniversary) will be remembered at Mass, on Saturday May 2nd in Rhode at 6.45pm, on the occasion of her first anniversary. Due to current restrictions, this Mass may be watched on Rhode Parish’s Facebook page.

May God reward each and every one of you for all your kindness.
