Remembering the Lives of Mary Keane and Claire Sullivan in Longford
Today, we pause to reflect on the lives of two beloved individuals from County Longford, whose recent passings have left an indelible mark on their families, friends, and communities. The deaths of Mary Keane (née Furey) of Drumlish and Claire Sullivan of Longford Town have been met with profound sadness and heartfelt tributes.
Mary Keane, a cherished resident of Main Street, Drumlish, passed away peacefully at Portiuncula University Hospital in Ballinasloe on November 30, 2024. Surrounded by her loving family and the caring hospital staff, Mary’s final moments reflected the warmth and connection she nurtured throughout her life. Predeceased by her husband Stephen and her parents, Jim and Mary, she leaves behind a legacy of love and cherished memories shared with her close friend Michael, cousins, relatives, and a wide circle of friends.

Mary’s funeral arrangements include a repose at Glennon’s Funeral Home, Ballinalee Road, on December 2, with her Funeral Mass held the following day at St. Mary’s Church in Drumlish. As per her wishes, family flowers are requested, with donations directed to ‘Inis Aoibhinn’ Cancer Care West—a testament to Mary’s generosity and concern for others.
Equally poignant is the passing of Claire Sullivan, a well-loved figure from Camlin Meadows, Longford Town, and formerly of Bornacoola, Co. Leitrim. Claire, who passed on November 28, 2024, is fondly remembered for her vibrant spirit and enduring love for her family and friends. Predeceased by her parents, Michael and Teresa, sister Carol, and brother Jimmy, she leaves behind her son Colm, his father Andrew, her siblings, and a host of devoted friends.
Her funeral took place at St. Mel’s Cathedral in Longford, followed by cremation at Lakeland’s Crematorium. Like Mary, Claire requested family flowers only, with donations in her memory directed to the Dialysis Unit at Tullamore’s Regional Hospital, reflecting her compassionate nature and care for others.
As we bid farewell to Mary Keane and Claire Sullivan, their lives serve as reminders of the profound impact one individual can have on their community. May they rest in peace, and may their families find comfort in the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time.
