The death has occurred of:
Martina COYLE (née Loughran)
Martina Coyle (nee Loughran).
Martina’s husband Cormac, children Rebecca, Mark, Erin, Ella and Adam, son-in-law Mark, grandson Ollie, parents Paddy and Teresa, brothers Damien and Gary, sister Catherine, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, and the wider Coyle and Loughran families, wish to express their heartfelt thanks to everyone who offered sympathy, kindness and support following the recent sad loss of Martina.
We are deeply grateful to everyone who sent Mass cards, sympathy cards, letters, text messages and emails, posted condolences on funeral notice websites and on social media. We gratefully acknowledge Martina’s many friends and work colleagues and all those who attended the wake and funeral to pay their respects.
We would also like to extend our thanks to Martina’s aunt, uncles and cousins for their support during this time.
Our sincere thanks go to all the healthcare professionals who cared for Martina during her short illness, for their compassion, dedication and support, including the paramedics and staff of the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service, and the Police Service of Northern Ireland.
We would like to thank Father Paddy Hughes and Monsignor Colm Curry for their visits to the family home, their continued support and care, and for celebrating Martina’s beautiful Funeral Mass. We are also grateful to Archbishop Eamon Martin for taking the time to visit the wake and offer his support to the family.
We thank the Eucharistic Ministers and the Sacristan of St Michael’s Church, Lissan, for their support and assistance at Martina’s Funeral Mass.
A special word of thanks goes to the LCC Group and the members of St Michael’s GAC Lissan, for their tremendous support in organising and transporting visitors to the family home, and to the Committee of Lissan Hall for their kindness and assistance.
We are very grateful to Margaret Ann Conlon, Mairead Conway, Patrick Slevin and Pat Casey for the beautiful singing and music at Martina’s Funeral Mass. We also extend our thanks to Jolene McBride, the choir of Lissan Primary School, and Martina’s nieces Ava and Isla for their beautiful music and singing.
We would also like to thank Ciara McIntyre and all the current and former staff of Lissan Primary School, together with Martina’s pupils and past pupils and their families, for their kindness, support and many expressions of sympathy.
To St Michael’s GAC Lissan and Lissan Primary School, who formed a guard of honour, and to the clubs, schools and colleges who offered their condolences and called at the home, we extend our appreciation and gratitude.
We would like to thank Micky McElhatton and the staff of the Greenvale Hotel for providing the food during the wake and the funeral dinner.
Our sincere thanks also go to Colleèn and her team at Niall Loughran Funeral Directors for their care, professionalism and support throughout.
With one final and very special thank you to Margaret Hughes, whose kindness and support have meant so much to our family.
As it would be impossible to thank everyone individually, we hope this acknowledgement will be accepted as a token of our sincere appreciation and gratitude. The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered for the intentions of all.
Martina’s Months Mind Mass will be celebrated in St Michael’s Church, Lissan on Friday 11th September 2026 at 7.30pm and can be viewed using the link below: https://mcn.live/Camera/st-michaels-lissan
