Farewell to Mary Hoare
Birmingham Irish • June 6, 2019
On the 17th May we sadly lost our long time volunteer, friend and mother figure to many at Birmingham Irish, Mary Hoare.
Mary had supported our organisation for many decades and dedicated her time to caring for those less fortunate than herself.
It seems only fitting in National Volunteers week to pay tribute to a very special lady who’s smile and personality lit up many a darkened room during her time with us.
We will miss her unusual sense of dress, her big hugs and of course the ear bashing's that she could hand out!
Birmingham Irish Association will be marking Mary's dedication to the charity in the very near future, but in the meantime may she rest in peace.
"Gone but not forgotten."

At Birmingham Irish, we feel that the beautiful language of Gaelic is an extraordinary gift that should be passed down from generation to generation with immense pride.
