Collins, Lil
March 06, 2013Lil who was 92 years young was mainly involved in camogie and hurling but her late husband Bernie played football for Wicklow.
She was extremely proud of daughter Gwen who was a camogie star with Bray Emmet's and Wicklow before becoming a nun and devoting her life to prayer.
Sons Liam and Dermot played hurling for Wicklow but even after all of them had retired from the game, Lil still maintained her interest.
Her remains were removed to the church of the Holy Redeemer Bray where the celebrant of the Mass was a Kilmacanogue neighbour Fr Ben Mulligan. Lil, who was a Fleming from the Paddocks, was interred in her native Kilmacannogue.
To her sons, daughter and extended family we extend our sympathy.
May she rest in Peace.
