Patricia Monahan (née Murphy)

March 21, 2017

Born February 6, 1929 in Dublin, Ireland, passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Tuesday, March 21st, 2017 at McGarrell Place. Beloved Mother to Valerie Grech (Joe), Alan (Mary), Caroline Mamone (Frank), Derek, Sylvia Watts (Mike), Louise Bogart (Todd) and mother-in-law to Nancy Monahan. Predeceased by Richard Monahan and daughter-in-law Karen Monahan. Loving Nana to Jennifer, Julie, Sarah, Hayley, Laura, Julia, Jason, Melissa, Carly, Rachel and Robbie; great-Nana to Dustin, Nicole, Kristina, James, Jackson, Dylan, Amelia, Lily Rose and Madelyn, and soon to be great-great-Nana. Mom was one of eleven children born to Thomas and Mary Murphy of Cabra, Ireland. Mom’s siblings: Maura, Anne, Eileen, Greta, Vera, Betty, Laura, Sean, Bob and Tommy. Our Mom and Dad immigrated to Canada from Ireland in May 1967 with their six children.  Mom was proud of her Irish roots, but felt that Canada was her true home. Mom was an immaculate homemaker, talented seamstress and fabulous cook. Her greatest joy in life was raising her family. After many illnesses and the onset of dementia, Mom moved to Long Term Care where she lived for the past five years. Our family wishes to thank the kind and dedicated staff of McGarrell Place and Dr. Karen Lo, who provided such wonderful care to our Mom. Cremation and private family service has taken place with burial at St. Peter’s Cemetery to be arranged at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Alzheimer Society London and Middlesex.

What a beautiful feeling to know your mom Patricia was brought to the Lord right around St.Patrick's day. As my family is brought though the Irish tradition I feel the sadness and loss of a mother who must have done so much to support her family. My heart goes out to the family and children, to be, and are born, I especially would like to give my condolences to my friend, Louise, who is so gracious, calm and considerate to her colleagues. She is a lovely women, and, I hope that through the sorrow and consultation through her family, Louise knows that she is very respected at work and as a person, and wish for a comforting presets for peaceful consultation during this difficult time. God bless you all, and faithfully, god bless the Irish.
