Teresa Coyne, a beloved member of the community, passed away on April 14th, 2026, leaving behind a profound impact on those she touched. Her life was a testament to the power of human connection and the importance of community support. Teresa's passing serves as a reminder of the fragility of life and the need to cherish every moment.
Teresa's legacy is a tapestry of love and dedication. She was a pillar of strength for her family, offering unwavering support and guidance. Her children, Martin, Mary, Kathleen, Josephine, Trina, and Olive, are now left to navigate life without their matriarch, but they carry her spirit within them. The grandchildren, MaryKate, Lorcan, Dan, Joe, Cáit, Ciara, Davey, Matthew, Aoibh, Elsie, and Aidan, are a testament to Teresa's ability to nurture and inspire. The sons-in-law, John, Lorcan, Declan, and Dave, have stepped up to fill the void, becoming an integral part of the family.
The funeral arrangements reflect the warmth and generosity of Teresa's character. The Sharkey Funeral Home in Frenchpark will be open for visitors on Friday from 5 pm to 7 pm, allowing friends and neighbors to pay their respects. On Saturday, the procession will depart from her home and make its way to St. Asicus Church for the Mass of the Resurrection at 11:30 am. The interment will follow in Cloonshanville cemetery, a final resting place that will forever hold the memories of a life well-lived.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Western Alzheimers, an organization that Teresa held dear. Her passing has brought to light the importance of supporting those affected by Alzheimer's disease, a condition that Teresa may have faced during her final days. The live-streamed Mass, accessible via the Sharkey Funeral Directors' Facebook page, allows those unable to attend in person to pay their respects and share in the sorrow of the family.
Teresa's life was a beacon of compassion and resilience. Her passing is a reminder that life is fleeting, and it is our duty to cherish every moment and every connection we make. As we mourn her loss, let us also celebrate the love and joy she brought into the world, leaving an indelible mark on the hearts of all who knew her.
