Avril Whitehead,

Pullamarla, Bofeenaun, Ballina, Co. Mayo - peacefully at Mayo University Hospital, Castlebar.

​​​​​​​Avril, beloved wife of Ken, mother to Gerard and Mark, grandmother to Alexander, Thomas and Annabel.

Avril was born in Hazelwood Castle, Yorkshire in 1944 to Josephine and George Teale, Avril's mother's maiden name being Leonard, who was from Ballina.

​​​​​​​Avril spent her earlier years living in Ballina with her grandparents on Pearse St, going to school in Ballina and then onto the Ursuline Convent in Sligo.

Avril was a reserved person who came alive in the company of her family, friends and neighbours.

Avril always regarded the West of Ireland as her true home, especially Ballina and the area around the town, having fond memories of the Ballina people she grew up with.

Her grandparents were from the townlands of Coolturk and Carrowgarve to the West of Crossmolina and she spent many times visiting relatives in those areas and in Keenagh.

Avrils's warmth and loyalty will be sadly missed.

Deeply mourned by her loving husband, sons, daughters-in-law Gill & Jo, grandchildren, sister-in-law, brother-in-law, nieces, nephews, neighbours and friends.

Rest In Peace.

Reposing at Leonard's Funeral Home, Lahardane (F26CV60) on Sunday evening from 6pm to 7pm.

Cremation on Monday at 12 noon in Shannon Crematorium

We are so very sorry to hear of the sad passing of Avril, we got to know her recently during visits to Ballina District Hospital, as she shared a room with my mam. Avril was a wonderful lady with such a kind heart and was a great friend to my mother. I won't forget her bright blue twinkling eyes and wicked sense of humour. May her lovely gentle soul rest in peace.
