The peaceful passing of Moya Brennan (Jarvis) has left a profound impact on her community, as evidenced by the outpouring of grief and remembrance. Moya's death at her home in Upper Dore, Gweedore, marks the end of a life well-lived, surrounded by those who loved her. The loss is particularly poignant given the recent passing of her father, Leo Brennan, and brother, Leon Brennan, as well as the untimely deaths of her uncles, Noel and Padraig Duggan, and aunt, Bríd Duggan.
Moya's passing has left a void that will be deeply felt by her husband, Tim Jarvis, and her children, Aisling (Kayleigh) and Paul (Lara). The loss of a grandmother, mother, and sister is a significant blow to her family, and the mention of her granddaughter, Eden, underscores the intergenerational impact of her passing. The outpouring of love and remembrance from her extended family and friends is a testament to the warmth and generosity of her spirit.
The funeral arrangements reflect the community's desire to honor Moya's memory. Her remains will be reposed at her home on Wednesday, April 15th, and Thursday, April 16th, from 1 pm to 8 pm, with prayers held nightly at 8 pm. The house will be private after the prayers and on the morning of the funeral. Moya's funeral mass will take place on Friday, April 17th, at 2 pm in St. Patrick's Church, Meenaweal, Crolly, followed by interment in Magheragallon Cemetery, Gweedore.
The funeral mass will be a public event, with live streaming available on Kieran Roarty Funeral Director's Facebook page and on the Church webcam via MCN Media. This accessibility ensures that those who cannot attend in person can still pay their respects. The request for family flowers only and donations in lieu to Donegal Cancer Flights & Services highlights the community's commitment to supporting a worthy cause.
Moya's passing serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of cherishing every moment. Her legacy will live on through the memories of those who loved her and the impact she had on her community. As we reflect on her life, we are reminded of the power of love, family, and the enduring bonds that connect us all.
