CARMODY, Philomena 'Ena' (O'Neill)

Ena Carmody, 58, of Dublin, Ireland lost her long and courageous battle with cancer on Friday (November 21, 2008). She was born in Co, Donegal, Ireland on Dec 30, 1948. She was an inspiration to all who knew her, a devoted mother to Niamh and Jennifer (Jake) and an adored "NaNa" to Evan, Caolainn, Laura and Ordhan. She was predeceased by her soul mate and husband, Brendan; her parents, Gus and Bridget Mary O'Neill, and her brothers, Michael and Eoin O'Neill. Besides her children and grandchildren, she is survived by her nine brothers and sisters: Hugh (Geraldine) O'Neill of Bristol, Vincent (Dolores), Ted (Aine), James (Elizabeth) O'Neill of Dublin, Ireland, Mary (Ken) Benoit of Bristol, Ann Walsh, Eileen (Mick) Finnan, Debra (Noel) Flynn of Dublin, Kathleen Murray of Cork, and Pat Carmody her beloved sister-in-law, with whom she lived. Ena, we will all miss you so very much but you are, at last, free from that devastating disease. Sincere thanks to the gentle, caring staff at St. Francis Hospice in Raheny, Dublin. Funeral Mass will be said at The Church of the Visitation, Fairview, Dublin on Tuesday November 25, with burial at Fingal Cemetery. Memorial donations may be made to in Ena's name to The Woman & Girls Fund, Bristol, CT, or Bristol Hospital Cancer Center, Bristol, CT.

Thank you Steve for including my dear sister in the Bristol Obituaries. She died in Ireland and my daughter tried to list her death in the Bristol Press but got nowhere as they only accept death notices from funeral homes. Although we use the morticians from the funeral homes in Ireland the body actually lies in the Church overnight so we really do not use the funeral home. I am on my way now to the Bristol press with the Obit from the Courant, Your blog printed out and a print out from RIP.ie. Hopefully these will suffice. Thank you, MB
