Gaelic Tyrone is deeply distressed to learn of the death of Sinead McHugh (née Dooher), dear sister of our cherished, enduring Club Tyrone Treasurer Roisin (Shanks), and dear daughter of Johnny and Gabrielle, hugely influential generational presences within and across Tyrone GAA.
Sinead’s cruel illness was taken on resolutely, in the full spirit of a family who contribute so much to what we are and what we try to do. ‘Turas abhaile an bás don té atá cróga | For the brave, death is just going home.’
Our deepest sympathy goes to Gary, to Daíre, Ruairí and Aoibhe, to Johnny and Gabrielle, to Grainne, Roisin and Maeve, to Sinead’s wider family circle, and to all those blessed to be her friends, colleagues and pupils.
‘Lúimse le Dia agus luífidh Dia liom, Éireoidh mé le Dia agus éireoidh Dia liom | I lie with God and God will lie with me, I will rise with God and God will rise with me.’
