THERE is deep sadness following the death of much-loved Loreto Secondary School teacher Brid Carr.

A native of Doaghmore, Fanad, she died peacefully, surrounded by her loving family, following a brief illness.

A mathematics teacher at Loreto in Letterkenny, she was a popular and respected figure in the school.

In 2011, she managed a soccer team that won the FAI Schools Senior final ten years ago. A squad including Geraldine McLaughlin, Ciara Grant and Emer Gallagher defeated Eureka from Kilkenny at Tolka Park in March 2011.

Her sudden passing has been met with sadness among students past and present and her beloved colleagues.

Brid was predeceased by her parents Charlie and Nora.

Her death is deeply regretted by her partner Laura Harkin, brothers Sean and Padraig and sister Evelyn Roche.

The loving aunt of Katie, Hannah, Annie, Molly, Nell, Meg, Edel, Nóirín, Caoimhe, Aoife and Charlie, she will be sadly missed by Bebe and family (Coventry), brother-in-law Kevin Roche and sisters-in-law Catriona and Claire, her extended family, neighbours and her many many friends.

Her funeral takes place at 12noon on Tuesday at St Mary’s Church Fanavolty with burial afterwards in the adjoining graveyard.

In compliance with Government and HSE Guidelines, wake, funeral and interment are private to family and close friends only please.
