The death has occurred of Sr. Damian Conroy, Stella Maria, Taylors Hill, Galway, and formerly of Convent of Mercy, Tuam and Brierfield, Abbeyknockmoy.

Sr. Damian, Sisters of Mercy, Stella Maria, Galway and formerly of Convent of Mercy Tuam, and Brierfield, Abbeyknockmoy, died peacefully in Stella Maria, on January 15th, surrounded by her community and the Care Staff of Stella Maria. Predeceased by her parents James (Jim) and Celia (Molloy), her brothers Padraic, Joseph, Aidan, her twin brother John Enda (who died as an infant), and her nephew Séamus Óg. Deeply mourned and fondly remembered by her sisters Anne and Nuala and her brothers Seamus and Kevin, nieces, nephews, grandnieces, grandnephews, extended family and the Sisters of Mercy Western Branch, in particular the community in Stella Maria.

Sr. Damian had made arrangements to donate her body to medical science, to aid in the silent teaching of others, but this wish could not be fulfilled, due to circumstances beyond her control.

Rest in Peace

Reposing at Stella Maria (H91 XY93) from 3.30.pm to 5.00 pm on January 18th (Sunday). Arrival on January 19th (Monday) at Cathedral of the Assumption, Tuam (H54 WP66) for Mass of the Resurrection at 11.30am. Burial afterwards in the Convent Cemetery, Tuam.

Sr. Damian touched my heart with her encouraging and joyful nature every time I had the privilege of meeting her while working at Stella Maria. I was truly blessed by her presence. May she now rejoice eternally in the happy embrace of Jesus, our Lord. My deepest sympathies to the community.
