It is with profound sorrow and deep regret that we announce the passing of Terence Murphy. Terence, a resident of Dundalk and formerly of Newry, peacefully departed this world on January 18, 2024, at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda. His untimely passing leaves a void that can never be filled, and our hearts collectively mourn the loss of a dear son, father, partner, brother, and friend.
Terence was the beloved son of Nancy and the late Terry Murphy. His memory will forever be engraved in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing him.
Terence’s life will be remembered not only for its brevity but for the warmth, kindness, and love that he shared with those around him. In remembrance and celebration of Terence’s life, his remains will be reposing at his sister’s home, 27 Craignamona View, Mayobridge BT34 2FF. Family and friends are invited to pay their respects on Saturday from 3 pm to 8 pm and on Sunday from 2 pm until 8 pm.
