Michael worked in Bonner's Shop on the Malin Road for 34 years, where he earned great respect from the public for his honest and hard working manner.

Paddy, as he was known, worked for many years in McCauley's Mills, Moville, having served in the Irish Navy previously. He was an experienced salmon fisherman and was also a member of the St Eugene's Hall committee for many years. On being made redundant, Paddy took up gardening and could be seen working in gardens all over the parish and even further afield. He enjoyed every minute working outdoors with plants and flowers and he was quite knowledgeable about many gardening issues. He went to his rest on January 5, 2008, after a very short illness. Paddy is survived by his wife Roisin, sons John, Paddy, and Michael, daughters Mary Ann, Eileen, Rose, Caroline and Jennifer. He is also survived by many grandchildren and great-grandchildren, by his brother Danny and sisters Greta, Annie, Sadie, Philomena and Mary.

The funeral Mass was celebrated by Father Patrick McGoldrick CC who was a great support to the family since Paddy was taken ill. He was interred at Ballybrack graveyard and is sadly missed.

Frances had a great sense of fun. She loved to listen to music and singing and enjoyed watching her young grandchildren and great grandchildren playing. Frances who was one of eight brothers and sisters was the last remaining member of the McGonagle family who originated from Cooley, Moville. Some consolation is felt by her family due to Frances' strong faith and belief that when her day would come, she would be reunited with her loving husband John. Her funeral Mass was celebrated by Father McGoldrick C.C., Moville. The readers were her grand-daughters Sinead Faulkner and Sharon McDaid. The Psalm was read by her grand-daughter Lavinia McDaid. The Offertory gifts were presented by her grandsons Kevin, Connor, Eunan and Andrew McDaid. Prayers of the Faithful were read by her grandsons Gavin and Gareth McDaid.

May she rest in peace. Margaret Warnock 17.12.07There was deep regret in the parish on the recent death of Margaret Warnock. Margaret was a lifelong resident in the Moville area and spent many years working in New Park Hotel, Moville. Although Margaret was a quiet, reserved person, the esteem in which she was held was reflected on the large numbers that called to her home and those who attended the funeral from her late residence to Moville Presbyterian Church. Her service was conducted by Reverend Gilbert Young, a lesson was read by her son David and the organist was Dorothy Young. Margaret was interred in Clar burial ground. Chief mourners were her son Daniel (Moville), brother James McLucas and his wife Jean (Birmingham), sister May and her husband Fred Bowley (Birmingham) and nephew Trevor Carlin (Birmingham).
