Pat Purcell Papers
Mrs. M (Minnie) Snoddy


Nationalist and Leinster Times, March 1941.

Mrs. M (Minnie) Snoddy, Carlow.

Death is always very sad, but there are often accompanying circumstances which make it tragic in the extreme. Such was the case when on Saturday night the rather sudden demise of Mrs. Snoddy, beloved wife of Mr. Michael Snoddy, N.T., Mount Hanover, Carlow, occurred in a Dublin hospital after being admitted only a few hours previously.

The deceased was a lady of a most amiable disposition, and was deeply attached to her three young children and home.

She was married about seven years ago, and her death in the prime of life is most sincerely regretted by a wide circle of relatives and friends.

The remains were conveyed by motor hearse to the Cathedral, Carlow, on Sunday evening, and the immense funeral cortege that met the remains on the outskirts of the town testified to the widespread sympathy felt for her afflicted husband and young family.

Very Rev. W. Miller, D.Ph., Adm., received the remains at the Cathedral and led the large congregation in the recitation of the Rosary.

Office and Requiem High Mass was celebrated on Monday morning in the Cathedral for the repose of her soul.

Very Rev. T. Browne, President, St. Patrick's College, presided.

The celebrant of the Mass was Very Rev. W. Milller, Adm; deacon, Rev. C. Crowley, C.C.; sub-deacon, Rev. D. Kennedy, C.C.

In the choir were: Re. Very Rev. J. J. Dunny, P.P. Tinryland; Very Rev. P. O'Haire, P.P. Graiguecullen; Rev. J. Conway, Knockbeg College; Rev. M. Coughlin, C.C., Carlow; Rev. E. Kerrigan, C.C., Tinryland.

The funeral took place immediately afterwards to St. Mary's Cemetery. The chief mourners were:- Michael Snoddy, N.T. (husband), Edward Brennan (father), John, Stephen, Edward Brennan (brothers), Mrs Tynan and Mrs. Bunting (sisters), Mrs Patrick Snoddy (mother-in-law), Patrick Purcell, Michael Purcell, Patrick Jones, Joseph Phelan, Thomas Snoddy (brothers-in-law), Mrs Brennan, Mrs Margaret Purcell, Mrs Esther Purcell, Mrs Kathy Jones, Mrs Nan Phelan, Mrs Mary Snoddy, (sisters-in-law), Annie MacKenna, Patrick MacKenna, Aldhonsus MacKenna,, John and Miley Hayes (cousins), John, Patrick and Collette Phelan.
