A Life Remembered: The Passing of Sheila Elliott
A beloved mother, grandmother, and daughter, Sheila Elliott, has left us, leaving behind a legacy of love and cherished memories.
Sheila, or 'Nee' Hanna, as she was known to her closest family, passed away on January 9th, 2026. Her passing has left a profound impact on her loved ones, especially her children: Laura, Aaron, Shea, Ciaran, and James. And let's not forget the little Oisín, her darling grandson, who will grow up with stories of his grandmother's love.
Sheila was the beloved daughter of Eddie and Teresa Hanna, and her siblings, Maeve, Eamonn, Bronagh, Theresa, Kathryn, and David, are now left to cherish the memories they shared.
But here's where it gets controversial...
The funeral arrangements have been set, and Sheila's family has invited everyone to pay their respects. Her body will be at Patsy Taggart's Funeral Home on Saturday and Sunday, with specific visiting hours. On Monday, a Requiem Mass will be held at St. Patrick's Church, Clonoe, followed by her interment in the adjoining cemetery.
And this is the part most people miss...
The extended family and friends of the Hannas and Elliotts are deeply saddened by Sheila's passing. Her sorrowing sons, daughter, and grandson, along with her parents, siblings, and their respective partners and children, are all feeling the weight of this loss. The family has asked for prayers and support during this difficult time, and they seek comfort in the belief that Sheila's soul will find mercy in the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
This funeral notice serves as a reminder of the impact one person can have on so many lives. Sheila's passing has left a void, but her memory will live on through the love and stories shared by those she left behind.
