Recent Death
We extend our deepest sympathies to Nancy O Sullivan, Matthews Cross and Peggy O Shea, Ballyduff Hill on the recent death of their beloved brother Sean Power. Sean was born and raised in Matthews Cross but spent his married life and raised his children in the beautiful Ballymacmague, Dungarvan. His working life was spent in the ESB and he loved gardening and sports especially his beloved golf. Sean is predeceased by his beloved wife Brigid (nee Houlihan), parents John and Mary, his brothers Paddy, Mattie, Tommy, Teddy and Joe and his sister Kitty. He will be very sadly missed by his daughter Grace, son Greg, grandson Fergus, son-in-law Kevin Harty, sisters Peggy and Nancy, extended family, neighbours and his many friends. May his sweet, gentle soul rest in peace.
