Wexford Community Mourns 10-Year-Old Grace Mahon Ahead of Funeral

Local clubs, schools and neighbours closed grounds, published tributes, arranged livestreams to support the family

Overview

  • Grace Mahon's funeral mass is scheduled for St. Cyprian’s Church with a celebration of life and cremation at Mackens Funeral Home on Friday, June 5.
  • The family asked mourners to 'celebrate Grace's life in vivid colour' and requested donations to the Wexford SPCA instead of flowers; she will repose at her family home on Thursday evening.
  • Shelmalier clubs and other local teams described the community as 'completely devastated' and closed the Hollymount grounds from 4pm Thursday until after the funeral as a mark of respect.
  • The funeral arrangements include online links so people who cannot attend in person may join the mass and the celebration of life.
  • Reports do not state a cause of death and give conflicting accounts of when Grace died, leaving the exact date and circumstances unreported in current coverage.
