The death has occurred of Denis HEALY, Tullig Cross, Millstreet. Peacefully in the presence of his loving family at Cork University Hospital. Beloved husband of Kathleen (nee Mulcahy) and adored dad to Miriam and Liam, brother to Patjo, Donie and the late Joan, Nora and Kathleen. Sadly missed by his wife, children, brothers, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nephews, nieces, neighbours and many close friends. May the angels of God be with him, and may he rest in peace.
Reposing in Tarrant’s Funeral Home, Millstreet on Sunday from 6.00pm to 8.00pm followed by removal to St. Patrick’s Church, Millstreet. Requiem Mass Monday at 12 noon and burial afterwards in St. Mary’s Cemetery, Millstreet.
My Nana was Margaret Mary Healy and was from Millstreet, this was her great nephew.
He was a good person in him nothing small
Years ago he played for the Slanan Rovers Club in Gaelic Football
When he was a younger man in his life’s prime
Though this is going back many Seasons in time
So sad to learn Denis Healy from life has passed away
That he lived as a very good person of him would be true to say
In his late sixties or early seventies he was far from an old man
So many have lived a far longer life span
Dark haired and handsome in his younger years
His passing in Millstreet would not have gone without tears
But for everyone a last Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall
We are born as mortals and death is for us all
But he used in a good way his great gift of life
And he is a huge loss to his family and his wife
And he will be sadly missed by many in Millstreet
Who will mourn for a friend they will never more meet
For all of us there is a last night and day
By Cashman’s Hill in St Mary’s his last remains lay
One can only hope his parting from life was a painless release
That good man Denis Healy may he now rest in peace.
