The late Marion Roche
Country singing star Daniel O’Donnell has paid tribute to Majella's mother Marion Roche who passed away on Monday.
In a post on social media, Daniel said: “It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Majella’s mother Marion.
“Marion died last night surrounded by her family in St Mary’s nursing home in Galway. We will be forever grateful to the wonderful staff of St Mary's for the great care Marion received since going to live there and especially in her final days.
“The care and compassion shown to Marion and indeed her family was second to none.
“Our thanks also to all the staff at Galway university hospital for their care of Marion during her recent stay there.
“Marion was a beautiful person. Many who met her often referred to her as ‘A Lady’.
“I was blessed to have her as my mother in law. She will be greatly missed by her family and many friends. May she rest in peace.”
