She was a cherished member of the Fivemiletown community, and her loss is deeply felt by those who knew her best.
A life lived with family at the center
Rose Catherine’s life was marked by devotion to her family. She was pre-deceased by her husband, Hugh Pat, and will be remembered as a loving mother to Geraldine (Eamon), Patrick, and Martin (Mary). Those close to her describe a woman of quiet strength, warmth, and unwavering care for her children and grandchildren. Her home—first at 96 Alderwood Road and a well-loved residence in Fivemiletown—was often filled with the sounds of family gatherings, shared meals, and the simple rituals that make a house a home.
