With deep love and sorrow, we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, great grandmother, Lorna Mae Feeley (nee Denny), also known as Lorna Mae Kearns, who left this world peacefully at the young age of 93, just shy of 94.

Lorna, was the very heart of our family – a woman, whose kindness, warmth, and unwavering positivity touched everyone who knew her. Though quietly reserved, a very special lady - classy with a sense of style, she had a gift for making people feel comfortable and welcome, meeting everyone with a friendly smile.

To her family, she was more than a mother – she was a best friend, a source of strength, laughter, and unconditional love. She faced many of life‘s challenges with deep commitment and resilience.

She lived with grace, humility and an open heart, inspiring those around her to do the same. Her presence lit up every room, and her legacy will live on through the kindness she showed in the lives she uplifted.

Lorna brought so much love and light into our lives and will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
