Gabrielle Monaghan Obituary
We are sad to announce that on July 8, 2018, Gabrielle Monaghan (Toronto, Ontario) passed away. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As recently as March of this year, on International Women's Day, The Incubator, an Irish journal, tweeted a link to her essay 'The Day I Became A Feminist". Mom was thrilled. Mom's death has left a gaping hole in the lives of her children: Siobhan (Colin Arnold), Damhnait (Nigel Morris), Barry (Brenda Gluska) and Sean; and her seven grandchildren: Kyle, Michael and Kate Arnold; Ben and Rebecca Morris; and Emily and Sarah Monaghan. She will remain in their hearts forever. She is also survived by her brother, Barry (& Lois) Martin of St John's, NL; her sister, Dolores (& Tom) Skelly of Roanoke, Virginia and many nieces and nephews around the world. She was predeceased by her sisters, Eithne Martin, Ita Corrigan, Dymphna Power and Carmel McCarthy. We extend our heartfelt thanks to the medical, nursing, and support staff on Connell 9 at Kingston General Hospital and at Providence Care. Family flowers only. If desired, donations in Mom's honour can be made to Diabetes Canada, University Hospital Kingston Foundation, Canadian Mental Health Association or The Food Sharing Project, Kingston.
