Eileen from Meadstown ,just the far side of Garry's Cross on the road from Dunderry to Athboy as you turn right for Tullaghanstown has died on 21st October in Care Choice nursing in Trim aged 88 years
She was predeceased by her husband Thomas 14 years ago and is survived by her children Brendan,Bernadette,Geraldine and Eileen and numerous grandchildren ,sons in law ,daughter in law ,nephews,nieces and many true friends.She was a Ward from Tullaghanstown ,exemplary people also before and after marriage.
She was matriarch of an exemplary family of the highest moral code and a true supporter of Dunderry GAA Club both financially and in the spread of the games it nourishes.
I had the pleasure of playing football and hurling with her son Brendan ,who despite his lack of inches was as tough as nails and feared no one on the field of play.Now that his playing days are over he is ,as you would expect , involved in the management side of a juvenile team with which his sons play and is a former long serving Secretary of the GAA Club.
One of her sons in law Pat Geogh is caretaker in Dunderry and Kilbride Schools and as you would expect is helping to promote the GAA at schools level there also.
Eileen her daughter was and is a friend of mine and like the entire family is a person of the highest integrity,which is no more than you woud expect, as the apple never falld far from the tree.
The entire Fulham clan are simply the best and pillars of the local community.
Padre Pio's relics were and are no strangers to the Fulham's homesteads and are a great source of comfort and more to the family.
Reposing at her home today Monday from 4 pm to 8 p.m.with funeral Mass on Tuesday in Kilbride Church at 11.00 a.m.,followed by burial afterwards in the adjoining cemetery.
