Family and friends remember Kathleen Dunphy as a gentle and graceful woman whose kindness touched everyone she met. Originally from Graiguenamanagh in County Kilkenny and later settled in Tramore, Kathleen created a warm and welcoming home in Cullencastle and then Meadowbrook. She was a loving wife to her late husband Nicky, a devoted mother to Siobhán, James, Catherine and her late son Pat, and a proud grandmother to Cormac, Killian and Lauren. Kathleen lived her life quietly but meaningfully, with deep care for others and great strength through life’s trials. She kept strong bonds with her brothers Mick and Bob, and was known for her hospitality, her compassion, and the way she made people feel at ease. She was a true matriarch whose love and presence shaped her family’s life in countless ways.

She is remembered with great affection in messages from those who knew her best. “Kathleen was such a kind and gentle woman. It was always a pleasure to meet her and I appreciated her hospitality on many occasions.” One wrote, “She was one lovely lady, a wonderful nanny. It was a pleasure to have met her on this journey in life.” Another shared, “Some great memories of Cullencastle back in the day. Thinking of you all.” A neighbour offered, “Kathleen was very special. May God bring the family comfort and peace in your time of loss.” And from a close friend came the words, “I always looked forward to seeing her in Cork. May God rest her lovely soul.” In life and in memory, Kathleen is cherished for her quiet dignity, her unfailing kindness, and the deep love she gave so freely. She is now reunited with Nicky and Pat, and her memory will live on in the hearts of all who loved her.

Late of Meadowbrook , Tramore, Co. Waterford. Formerly of Cullencastle, Tramore, Co. Waterford and Graiguenamanagh, Co. Kilkenny. Kathleen died peacefully, surrounded by her loving family on Sunday the 28th of December 2025. RIP.

Family and friends remember Martin Marks, known lovingly as “Mar”, as a kind-hearted man who built his world around loyalty, laughter and love. He grew up on Barrack Street and later settled in the Military Barracks with Kathleen, the love of his life, where they raised a family full of character and care. A proud father to Vicky, Martina, Donna and Martin, he lit up whenever he spoke about his grandchildren and great-grandchild, and was already looking forward to meeting the next generation. Martin was happiest when surrounded by family, whether that was playing darts with friends, reminiscing in the heart of Ballybricken, or having a quiet chat outside the house with a neighbour passing by. He lived a full and grounded life, shaped by hard work, real friendships and the joy of simple things. The kind of man who saw the good in everyone, he made you feel seen, valued and never rushed.

Many who knew Martin have spoken from the heart in recent days. One friend said, “To Martin’s family and friends – so sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of working with Martin in our younger years in Kiely’s Brewery. Even in our later years, whenever we met, he always had time for a chat.” A loving grandson wrote, “Rest in peace Grandad, I love you and miss you so much. I know you’re not with us in body but in spirit – and that’s a comfort I’ll hold on to for life.” A neighbour remembered him as “a true gentleman who always had a smile and a chat for everyone – I’ll miss our little talks.” Another tribute simply read, “You’ll be sadly missed. Rest in peace in heaven Martin.” And perhaps most movingly, a granddaughter wrote, “I’ll meet you in paradise Grandad – have a party in Lanzarote for us until we meet again. This isn’t goodbye, it’s I’ll see you very soon.” Martin’s legacy lives on through those words, through the family he adored, and through the many lives he touched with his warmth, humour and unshakable loyalty.

Late of Military Barracks, Waterford City. Formerly of Barrack Street, Waterford City. Martin passed peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Saturday the 13th of December 2025. RIP.

Family and friends remember Nicholas O’Connor as the kind of man who brought light, laughter and pure heart into every space he entered. From his early days in Castle Street in Waterford City to his life in Riversdale Park in Tramore, he carried with him a natural warmth that drew people in and made them feel at ease. Those who worked with him in Waterford Crystal still speak of him fondly, remembering his humour, his pride in the craft, and the friendships formed there. His time with McDonalds Builders and his lifelong connection to Tramore Boxing Club gave him communities he cherished. At home he was devoted to Helen, his best friend in all things, and he was endlessly proud of Gemma, Jennifer and Nicholas Jnr, whose lives he filled with joy, mischief and music. His grandchildren were the pride of his later years, and he faced illness with a courage that inspired everyone around him. Nicholas lived with an energy that made ordinary days memorable, always greeting others with a smile and a quick word that made life feel lighter.

The love people had for him is clear in the tributes shared. One person wrote that they remembered working with him in Waterford Glass and growing up with him on Castle Street and that the memories would stay with them always. Another said he was a true gent and an absolute pleasure to be around and that there are many stars but few that shine so bright. Someone else described him simply as always the funniest person in the room. A neighbour said that he made even the hardest days brighter during treatment with his constant smiling and storytelling. And another wrote that he was full of fun and laughter and that once you turned the corner to the house you could hear the beat of his music before you reached the door. These memories tell the story of a man who gave everything of himself, who loved people deeply, and who left a mark that will not fade. His family can hold close the knowledge that he was adored by many and that his joy, kindness and unforgettable presence will continue to live on in every heart he touched.

Late of Riversdale Park, Tramore, Co. Waterford. Formerly of Castle Street, Waterford City. Formerly of Waterford Crystal, McDonalds Builders and his beloved Tramore Boxing Club. Nicholas passed peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Monday the 8th of December 2025. RIP.

Family and friends remember Nick Power as a gentle, warm-hearted soul whose presence brought light into every room and music into every gathering. Born in Tramore and later embraced by Galway’s vibrant trad community, Nick carried both places in his heart with equal pride. People speak of him not in grand gestures but in the quiet ways he made life better. They remember him walking Mucker through Kennedy Park and along Rahoon Road, always stopping for a chat, never in a rush, always ready with kindness. They remember the way he played the bodhrán with a soft confidence that anchored every session, and the way his smile lifted even the heaviest day. Nick’s life was one of generosity, gentle humour and steady friendship, and his family take comfort in knowing he was surrounded by deep affection both at home and across Galway’s music world.

Family, neighbours and musicians have shared memories filled with affection and gratitude. One friend wrote that his warmth lit up Irish music sessions in Galway and that a friendlier man one could never meet. Another said that Nick’s peaceful energy will be missed and that he was a pleasure to meet always. A musician remembered him as kindness itself and said that the trad community has lost a gentleman. Someone who shared a home with him in his younger years recalled how visitors always left smiling because he brightened every day. A final tribute came from a long-time friend who said that many roads were travelled together for music and that there was no better friend, no kinder heart and no man more deeply missed. These memories now form a tapestry of love that his mother Margaret, his sister Mary, his brothers Pidgeon, Pat and Perry, and all his extended family hold close as they say goodbye to a man who was cherished by so many.

Late of Kennedy Park, Tramore, Co. Waterford, and Rahoon Road, Galway City. Nick passed peacefully surrounded by his loving family on Sunday the 7th of December 2025. RIP.

Clare, and known in her early years in Marian Park and later Tramore, Ena’s life was one of quiet strength and compassion.

Family and friends remember Kathleen Dunphy as a woman of unwavering love, quiet strength and endless generosity. She lived a long life rooted in kindness, warmth and a deep devotion to her family. In Riverstown, she was known as a gracious neighbour, a loving mother and a guiding presence to everyone fortunate enough to know her. Kathleen and her late husband Matty built a home where laughter echoed and visitors were always welcome. Her joy was found in the simple things, making others feel at ease, sharing stories, and celebrating every milestone of her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and even her great great grandchild. One tribute said it best: “What a lovely person and great neighbour to all, always with a smile.” Another read, “Kathleen was an amazing lady who has left a wonderful legacy in her family.” Even those who knew her only briefly described her as “a truly wonderful lady” whose light and kindness will be deeply missed.

Kathleen’s strength came not just from enduring loss of her beloved husband Matty, grandson Gavin, sister Peggy and brothers John, Paddy, Danny and Mickey but from how she responded with grace, resilience and a heart still open to joy. She was happiest surrounded by family and her cherished cousin Mai, her lifelong friend and companion in laughter. In recent weeks, many have recalled sitting with her, sharing stories and feeling better just from her company. One visitor said, “I am so happy I spent a great afternoon with you recently.” Her presence was the kind you never forget. As the Dunphy family now face this great loss, they can take comfort in knowing she passed peacefully, surrounded by love, and that the community around her is holding her memory dearly. May her gentle soul rest in peace.

Late of Riverstown, Tramore, Co. Waterford. Kathleen died peacefully surrounded by her loving family at home on Wednesday the 3rd of December 2025. RIP.

Family and friends remember Joan Breslin as a loving wife, mother and grandmother, known for her warmth, kindness and generous spirit. A native of Waterford City and later a beloved figure in Tramore, Joan’s days in Fashion Fabrics on Mayors Walk remain fondly remembered by many. She was gifted with a unique flair for fabric and a personal touch that left customers feeling like friends. Whether guiding someone through their very first sewing project or instinctively picking out the perfect fabric, thread and buttons to match, she always took the time to make it just right. Her gentle humour, quiet strength and lifelong love of people were woven into everything she did, and her sudden passing has left a deep sadness across the community.

Another recalled, “She had a good and honourable word for all.” And a customer shared, “She had everything you needed for sewing, and knew the measurements off by heart. She was a lady.” These are just glimpses into a life well lived. Joan gave so much and asked for little. She will be remembered not only as a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother, but as a true part of the Waterford community.
