Ann Purcell (nee Commins)
20.04.1956 - 08.10.21
This site is a tribute to Ann Purcell (nee Commins), who was born in Co.Mayo, Ireland on April 20, 1956.
On Friday 8 October 2021, our darling Mumma died after a short illness with a rare form of cancer. She left this world gracefully and peacefully at St Luke’s Hospice with Aisling by her side. The only comfort her family take from this is that her suffering is now over. Our beautiful angel sent to us from heaven above has returned home — we are so lucky that she was ours.
St Lukes held a special place in Ann’s heart, she volunteered there for nine years right up until her diagnosis and they cared for both Ann and her sister Mamie in their final days. Ann is much loved and will always be remembered.
The tribute to your Mum is absolutely lovely. You are a credit to her and your Dad. Ann and I were friends as children, almost the same age. We often played together in Co. Mayo too. Her Mum and mine were related, somehow?! I loved it that Ann volunteered at the Hospice - kind and helpful, that was Ann Commins. It’s lovely to see the photos again too. Sending you all a big hug, and keeping you in my prayers at this time... 🙏🏼🙏🏼☘️☘️
Rest in Peace..you were such a lovely lovely lady x
I have only just discovered the terrible news that Ann, a very dear friend from my early twenties, died quite suddenly last October. We worked together in the 1970s and had a lovely holiday in Greece in 1978, remaining in touch ever since. I have a few photos of Ann from that holiday which Tony, Ciaran and Aisling might like to have. Can I send them to the Radlett address? St Luke’s has my email address.
