The Keane family has confirmed Marie died peacefully ‘surrounded by loving family at Marymount University Hospital and Hospice in Cork.
A death notice on RIP.ie reads: “The death has occurred of Marie Keane (néeLynch) on March 27th 2026, peacefully, surrounded by her loving family and in the tender loving care of the doctors, nurses and staff of St. Anne’s Ward at Marymount University Hospital and Hospice.
