The Late Ellen (Ella) McGarty
RIPEllen (Ella ) McGarty, Dublin
Ella McGarty wife of the late Packie McGarty passed away last night after a short illness. At his father’s funeral mass Packie’s son Eamon told the congregation meeting Ella was a special moment in Packie’s life. Packie always said the greatest thing he did was meet and marry Ella. Packie and Ella were married for sixty one years. They were a perfect fit, both were warm, affectionate, engaging and had outstanding values, they wanted the same things, a life together, a family, both had a strong faith and family and ideals on how to raise the family. They both worked together every day in the shop except on Christmas day. Packie and Ella lived their faith and were daily mass goers. Almost three years since Packie passed away on the 6th April 2021 he is now joined by his beloved wife Ella. They were a very special couple, Ella will be missed enormously by her family and will be remembered fondly by everybody that knew her. May Ella rest in peace.
With deepest sympathy from Leitrim County Board and the Leitrim GAA Supporters Club
