Burying my Niece

Bootser · May 13, 2022

Our beautiful Ruby Eve DeBurca Connolly aged 19 was taken from us recently and is to be laid to rest today. She had a heart condition which compromised her chance at longevity. She was a musician, poetry buff and an excellent artist. She was a lovely kid. Older posters on here may remember that this is the fourth family member that we have lost at a young age. It does not get easier.

Staff in the ICU of Dublin Mater hospital were wonderful but it was not to be. She had a full life ahead of her and everything to live for. Not to be.

Obituary

The death has occurred of Ruby Eve DeBúrca Connolly,Canal Road Upper, Galway City, Galway

Ruby Eve De Búrca Connolly left us suddenly. Too soon, and too young. She was incredibly intelligent, gloriously charismatic, and so, so, kind. She will be remembered as an effortlessly talented musician and visual artist, an exquisite singer, and an eloquent and hilariously irreverent writer. She had a unique take on life, emanated confidence, and charmed and bedevilled everyone who came within her orbit.

Those of us who were privileged enough to get to know her have been left with so many memories and stories from her life. Every time we listen, watch or read to Ruby's creations, we will find comfort in her vibrance and beauty.

Ruby will be painfully missed by everyone who loved her. The bird.

Memorial Service at Conneely's Funeral Parlour, Flood Street, Galway on Thursday, May 12th, from 5 to 7pm, with a celebration of Ruby's life in Druid Theatre from 7.30pm. Cremation at Dardistown on Friday, 13th May, at 2.20pm.

Back to me........ 19 FFS. I'll try and get some of her music up.
