Louise O’Loughlin—Raphoe Heartbroken by Sudden Loss
The community of Raphoe, Co. Donegal, is gripped by sorrow following the sudden death of Louise O’Loughlin of 12 Castle Grove. The news of Louise’s unexpected passing has devastated her large, loving family and the many friends who cherished her. Though the specific cause is not detailed, the word “sudden” underscores the shock and the speed with which a treasured life was taken.
The Legacy of a Devoted Mother
Louise’s greatest pride was her family. She is lovingly missed by her two heartbroken children, son Eoghan and daughter Kai. Her memory will serve as a guiding light for them, even as they navigate the unimaginable pain of her absence. Louise also leaves behind her father Pauric, stepmother Roberta, and a truly immense network of siblings who share an unbroken bond: Carmel, Katrina, Shaun, Janice, Leanne, Deborah, Bobby, Stephen, Natalie, and Ryan. Her passing creates a massive void in the lives of her nieces, nephews, and extended family, who now lean on each other for strength during this profound sadness.
United in Grief: A Family’s Shared Sorrow
The O’Loughlin family bears a heavy burden, as Louise was predeceased by her mother Patricia and her sister Annmarie. The family finds quiet solace in the thought that they are now together, asking for prayers: “A silent thought, a quiet prayer, for a special person in God’s care.” The community is invited to join in supporting the family. Louise will repose at her late residence this evening, Tuesday, 2nd December, from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm, and again on Wednesday, 3rd December, from 11:00 am to 10:00 pm. Rosary will be recited on both evenings at 9:00 pm.
Final Farewell: Requiem Mass in Raphoe
The final farewell for Louise will take place on Thursday morning, 4th December. The funeral cortege will leave her home at 11:30 am, proceeding to St. Eunan’s Church, Raphoe, for 12:00 noon Requiem Mass, followed by burial in the adjoining cemetery. For those unable to attend, the Funeral Mass may be viewed online via the parish webcam. The family has requested privacy on the morning of the funeral.
