August 21, 1934 –
October 21, 2022
It is with tremendous sadness that we announce the passing of
our dear mother, Madonna Mulrooney.
Mom passed away at Placentia Hospital in her 88th year,
surrounded by her beloved family. Mom was the centre of our
world and known to her grandchildren as their best friend. She opened
her door to many and always insisted their bellies were full before
leaving. Walking into her home was like receiving a warm
hug.
Predeceased by her adoring husband, Daniel Mulrooney; her
children Mercedes, Mary and Sammy; daughter-in-law Carol-Ann; grandson
Joshua; special nephew Frankie; parents Jack and Elizabeth Lake;
siblings Beatrice, Gerard, Thomas and Mercedes; parents-in-law Fred
and Ellen Mulrooney; sisters-in-law Mary, Margaret and Gertrude; as
well as brothers-in-law Patrick and Fred.
Leaving to mourn are her loving and devoted children Austin
(Shirley), Kate (Frank), Dan (Louise), Bonnie, Mary (Mack), Yvonne
(Jerry), Sadie (Des), and Darlene (Jerry); her son-in-law Wish
Palfrey; the joys of her life her 20 wonderful grandchildren, her 20
great-grandchildren, and 2 great-great-grandchildren; her siblings
Henry (Mary), Dennis (Loretta), Jack (Bert), Regina (Dermot), Nora,
Martha (Jim), Lynette (Pius), and Maureen (Jim); as well as special
friends Anne Wakeham, the Whalens and the Pomroys. Living on
the flats of Jerseyside for 50 years, we were blessed with the best
friends and neighbours.
We would like to thank Mom’s doting workers Pearl, Kelly,
Loretta and Geraldine, and the staff at Placentia Health Centre for
their outstanding care over the years, especially Dr. Robert Power,
who held a special place in her
heart.
Our mother was held in the highest esteem and revered by
many.
Resting at Maher’s Funeral Home, Placentia on Saturday and
Sunday from 1pm to 4pm and 6pm to 9pm. Mass of Christian
Burial to take place 12pm on Monday, October 24th at Sacred Heart
Church, Placentia. Interment to follow at Dermot McGettigan
Memorial Cemetery, Southeast Placentia.
“A Mother is someone who can take the place of all others,
but whose place no one else can take”
Our most sincere sympathies to the family and friends of Madonna Mulrooney 1934 2022..
