Family and friends remember Nicole McGrath as a beautiful, kind and deeply loved woman whose life was centred on her daughter Megan, her family, her friends and the animals she loved so dearly. Late of Ballyshunock Upper, Kilmacthomas, Nicole’s sudden and tragic passing has left heartbreak for Megan, her devoted mother Breda, her brothers, sister, nieces, nephews, relatives, neighbours and all who knew her. Those who loved Nicole speak of cherished memories, friendship, laughter and the “madness” shared over the years, while others remember her as “such a stunningly beautiful girl,” someone “so lovely” who will be missed beyond words. One message captured the heart of Nicole’s life simply and powerfully, saying Megan “was your world.”

Nicole is remembered with great affection by friends and former work colleagues, especially through memories from the Engine House, where friendships were formed and many moments were shared. She was remembered as kind, caring and pure, someone who “loved animals and devoted her life to Megan and all her pets,” a detail that speaks so clearly to her gentle heart. The many messages shared for Nicole ask that the beautiful memories made with her stay in the hearts of those who loved her forever. May Megan, Breda and all Nicole’s family find strength in the love surrounding them, comfort in the memories she leaves behind, and peace in knowing how deeply Nicole was loved and how tenderly she will always be remembered.

Late of Ballyshunock Upper, Kilmacthomas, Co. Waterford. Nicole passed away suddenly and tragically on Saturday the 1st of August 2026. RIP.
