The late Joseph Kilbride, Smear, Aughnacliffe, Longford
Joseph Kilbride of Smear passed to his eternal reward in the presence of his extended family and professional care of nurse Margaret, following a prolonged illness, on Friday, April 12.
Beloved husband of Gráinne and dear father to Kevin and Colm and grandad to little Ruadhan TJ who had brought so much pride and joy to Joe just four months ago. Joe is also survived by his dear sister Maggie and brothers Liam and Sean who will dearly miss him.
Joe was the first born of the late Mick and Rita Kilbride of Coolarty and he is also predeceased by his sister Kathleen Daly who departed this life in February 2012.
The Kilbride family have very precious memories of Joe and they hope that these will help them come to terms with their loss and when they get together they will laugh at all the good times they shared.
For Joe family always came first and he had a great secret pride in the achievements of his boys Kevin and Colm and both himself and Grainne were so happy when Kevin and Fiona were married on New Years day 2022 and the arrival of Ruadhan TJ on December 15 last really gave him a much needed boost.
Also around that time Colm introduced the lovely Nady and Joe was so delighted to see both his sons in lovely happy relationships.
