Foley, Peg
February 12, 2014
The community of Talbotstown and much of West Wicklow were in mourning following the death of Margaret (Peg) Foley. Peg was one of the oldest and most respected members of this little rural community. Her late husband Tom was a noted Athlete and footballer while all of the Foley and Farrell families are involved in the GAA, as players or administrators.
Her son Pat was on the Kiltegan team that made the breakthrough in football while grandson Niall was on the last team to win the SFC in 2008.
Her brothers Matt and Liam were on the first Baltinglass team to win a Minor football championship while Matt was on the Wicklow minor team for two years.
Her remains were removed to nearby Talbotstown Church on Sunday while on Monday she was taken to Tynaclash cemetery to be buried beside her husband.
Our sympathy to sons, Donal, Michael, Pat, daughter Margaret, sisters Noreen, Kitty, Maura and Cecilia and to her extended family. May they rest in peace.
