McGRATH, Marie Therese
(nee Dowdall):
After a life devoted to nurturing, caring and abundant amounts of love, Mum passed peacefully surrounded by family, in her 85th year, on Saturday, May 14, 2022. Her wit, fun loving personality, generosity, and unconditional love will be missed by Shona and Ross, Bren and Vince, Lynnie, Julie, Phil and Lena, Jeff and Tove. Adored, respected, and loved Nana to her 15 grandchildren and 11 great-grandchildren. Wonderfully cared for by Rosebank Lifecare for the last few years, now handed back over to her soulmate Johnny.
Wherever a beautiful soul has been, there is a trail of beautiful memories.
