Sad to hear that Bernie Forde passed away yesterday after a long illness.

Formerly of Tubber, Co. Clare, Bernie (nee O’Grady) is survived by her daughters, Valerie, Clodagh, and Olivia, and their father, Pat, along with her siblings, Carmel, Nollaig, Pauline, Frances, Joseph, Mickey, and Donie.

Bernie’s remains will repose in the Cillín, Bearna Church, on Saturday from 3 pm, with removal into the main church at 5 pm.

Requiem Mass will take place on Sunday at 1.45pm, with burial afterwards to Blakemount cemetery, Tubber, to arrive at 4 pm.

“Bernie fought a great battle, brave beyond belief and to celebrate her life we would love you to wear bright colours.”
