Mary Shanahan passed away peacefully in St Josephs Home on the 19th of February 2025, aged 96 years.
Mary will be fondly remembered and sadly missed by her family and friends. Mary is probably the last of her generation who grew up in that corner of rural County Waterford, Ireland. She was brought up in austerity, but was rich in family love and Christian Faith. A treasure has been lost.
If attending the funeral, please be in your seat by 10.50am. There will be a collection box at the Chapel entrance if you wish to contribute to the upkeep of St Josephs, a wonderful place which was dear to Mary and remains so to her children.
There are restricted parking opportunities at St Josephs and you are advised to find metered on street parking in adjacent roads. Alternatively you can park at Clifton Down Shopping Centre (entrance at Alma Rd, BS8 2NN for your SatNav. Hours 7am to 13.30pm. Modest charges). It's a 5 minute walk to St Josephs, exiting onto Whiteladies Rd, crossing directly opposite into Cotham Hill and then 300metres to St Josephs.
Immedietly following the funeral Mass, light refreshments will be available at St Josephs, for those not attending the Cemetry burial in Shirehampton. A buffet lunch will be available at St Josephs, at about 1.45pm, once the Cemetry party return to St Josephs. All are welcome. We hope there will be plenty, but we will share accordingly.
