Aoife Shelly RIP
It was with great sadness and disbelief that we learned of the sudden and tragic passing of Aoife Shelly last Sunday evening. At only 22 years of age, Aoife was the heart and soul of so much and her loss will be felt by so many for a long time. Coming from a strong Gaelic Games background, Aoife was heavily involved with the Moyne-Templetuohy Ladies Football club and only a few short months ago, she played a pivotal role in the clubs Junior A teams county final win. Aoife also played Camogie with Templemore Camogie Club where she was a valued member of all the teams she was a member of.
Off the field Aoife was one of the nicest young girls that one could have had the privilege of knowing, her bubbly and friendly personality always shone true and she always seemed to have a smile on her face and a welcoming word. She was a regular worker in Guilfoyles shop in Templetuohy and she will be so deerly missed by all of us who had the privilege of knowing her over many years.
We express our deepest and most heartfelt sympathies to the Moyne-Templetuohy GAA & Ladies Football clubs, Templemore Camogie club and Clonakenny GAA club who will miss her so dearly. But most of all we extend our condolence’s to Aoife’s mam Claire, her father Joe and her beloved brother Eoghan along with the extended Shelly and Hassett families at this most difficult time for them all.
May Aoife’s beautiful and pleasant soul rest in eternal peace.
