It is with
deep regret and sadness that we must say
goodbye to our friend and longtime member of Dochas Drama, Brid Sugrue.
Brid passed
away at lunchtime on Friday and though she had a long, active, fulfilled life,
we are sad to see her go! We thought she would go on forever!!
She took
part in numerous productions over many years. Her most recent role was as the
mother in J.M. Synge’s play “Riders to the Sea” just a few years ago. Her
sincere performance brought tears to many as did her role as Madge in Brian
Friel’s “Philadelphia Here I Come”.
But it was
not all tears – she made us laugh with her storytelling and quick wit. She had
the famous Kelly gift that enabled her to use words that painted pictures and
described incidents in a most descriptive way.
We extend
our sympathy to Sheila, Joan, Brian and Breda, to her cherished and beloved
grandchildren Gemma, John, Eva and Maitias.
We enjoyed
a number of delightful performances with her and the very talented Gemma of
whom she was so justifiably proud.
To Maureen,
her daughter-in-law and her son-in-law, Joe and to all her nieces, nephews and
family members we also extend our sympathy.
Removal
from O’Shea’s Funeral Home, Killarney this evening, Sunday, June 24th
at 6 pm to the Church of the Resurrection, Park Road.
We will
join the Guard of Honour.
Funeral to
Gneeveguilla tomorrow, Monday following 10.30 am Mass.
