Our hearts ache at the passing of Ita and the loss of her from our lives.

She leaves behind her husband of 57 years Paschal, her children Fergus (Bernice), Brian (Chrissie) and Adrienne (Chris) and her sister Maria (John). Her grandchildren; Christopher, Melissa, Trevor, Siobhan, Ruby and Stella will miss her smile and her enthusiasm for their accomplishments.

Ita left Dublin with Paschal on the day they were married in May 1957 and sailed across the Atlantic to Canada, then crossed the country by train to Vancouver. Together they faced the challenges of creating a new life for themselves and raising their family.

The support and friendship of neighbours and friends on E. 52nd Ave, E. 55th Ave, Birch Bay, and later in Burnaby was valued and reciprocated.

Please join us in remembering and celebrating her well-lived life and her too soon passing.

Prayers will be Thursday, February 26 at 7:00 p.m. at Corpus Christi Church, 6344 Nanaimo Street Vancouver, where a Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated Friday, February 27 at 1:30 p.m. Father Hamilton celebrant.

In lieu of flowers or donations, perform an act of kindness in her memory.
