Bridget “Biddy” McGrath (nee Moran) 

BIDDY-1

Chicago, USA native of Glen, Clare Island, Co. Mayo – peacefully in her  81st year.

Beloved wife of the late Owen McGrath.

Devoted mother of Jane McGrath, Ann (Thomas) McGrath-Harty, and Patricia Florek.

Cherished grandmother of Sarah, Thomas, Owen, Kate, Grace and Samantha.

Loving sister of the late Mary (late Joe) Cunnane, late Martin (Una) Moran, late Carmel (late Patty) Hastings, Michael (Nora) Moran, Anne (late Pat) Kett, late Patrick (Nora) Moran and Jane (Patrick) O’Toole. Treasured her many nieces and nephews. Adored her cousins, especially Frannie and Jackie McGreal. Deepest thanks to her devoted caregivers, Maggie Rzadkosz and Anne Andal, whose kindness and support brought her great comfort and dignity. Family meant everything to her. She was Jane’s greatest champion, and their bond was extraordinary—rooted in patience, humor, and love. She took immense pride in her grandchildren, celebrating every milestone with joy. She had a gift for bringing people together and threw unforgettable parties filled with laughter and great food. Her life was defined by devotion, hard work, laughter, and unwavering strength. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who were fortunate enough to know her.
