Mrs Rita Kennedy, one of Coolock's first Mercy Associates died on the 26th October 2023.
Her funeral was held at Holy Trinity Church in Newcastle Under Lyme on 9th November, her body having been taken into the church the previous evening with her eight sons and their families in attendance.
After the Reception Service they all came to Coolock to see where Rita visited on so many occasions and where she attended the Associate meetings. They enjoyed a good cup of tea and chatted with the sisters, Sr Maura, Sr Bridie, and Sr Betty. They enjoyed looking at photographs of Rita with her friends and Associates in Coolock and took great comfort from this.
Eternal rest grant unto her O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her, may she rest in peace.Â
