HEATLEY (née McGarrell) Imelda, July 3, 2023 died peacefully at home in the loving care of her family.

Beloved wife of the late Paddy, cherished mother of Catherine, Sarah, Imelda, Ita, Orla and the late Patrick. Much loved mother-in-Law of Malachy, John, Mark and Philip. Devoted and very proud granny of Declan, Leona, Nathalie, Aimee and Ciara.

You were always there when we needed you, no task too great or small, with a loving heart and willing hand, for us you did it all. God bless and keep you mother dear, and thanks for all you’ve done, we know that God has given you, the crown you’ve truly won. To the world you were one, to us you were the world. You were the best mother and we are forever grateful. Thanks, mummy, for all the fun and laughter you brought into our lives, your love, wisdom and kindness. From your heartbroken daughters.
