Our hearts are broken by the loss of one of the kindest, most gracious women we were lucky enough to call our friend. So many, many memories of nights in Shelley’s laughter all around and Mags holding court behind the bar. She watched our boys grow from babies to men, and she was such an important part of all our lives. When she went off to work in the medical field we couldn’t be happier for her. Helping others was ingrained on her heart. The love of family, friends and her most beloved Tony were legendary. Every time I saw her either on a commute to or from work she lit up my day. She will be so dearly missed. Our love and prayers are with Tony, her family, and everyone who loves and mourns her. Until we meet again Mags, you’re imprinted on all our hearts and we’ll carry your memory forever.

Words here cannot begin to express the sadness in our hearts for our longtime friend Mag. Deepest condolences to you all until we meet each of you in person to remember with love our fun times with Mag. Mag you were the first actual bartender we had at The Winners Circle and you showed a family of novices how it was all done when you were only sixteen. You worked long and late whenever asked , sharing your natural ability and peoples skill despite being in high demand at both brother Jim and Aunty Joan’s establishments. We were lonesome to see you leave on that jet plane to NYC as were many others who enjoyed your bubbly personality and easy going way. During visits to Woodside your same kind ways were there opening your home you shared with Tony to anyone who came ❤️. Soon came your return (and all of Mayo) to become Mrs Dempsey. I will always remember your after-wedding band rocking The Hills of Donegal for the lady of the house that night. Your visits home were always a delight , a more fun and inclusive person we will never meet again. We will remember you with great fondness and you will be in our hearts always. Rest in Peace dear Mag.
Shannon, Packy, Annette, Tommy
The Winners Circle, Abbeyfeale

Mags my NY Mother, although you were only a year older than me you were so much wiser, caring and understanding. You took me into your home when I went to NY first and there I remained for many joyful months. Just want to say that I will always cherish all the wonderful happy memories that I have shared with you over the years, although you’ve left us in a sudden and tragic way you will always live on in my heart. Rest in peace mama Mags. Your loving cousin T.J.
