Baltinglass girl’s singing voice, sense of fun and love of animals would have seen her grow to become a ‘wonderful person’, mourners told
Molly Dempsey, from Whitehall Park, Baltinglass, was pronounced dead at the scene of a single-vehicle crash at 5am on Sunday last at Slaney Park, close to the town.A 15-year-old girl who died in a road traffic incident will always be remembered due to her “bubbly personality” and smiles, mourners at her Requiem Mass heard.
The Dempsey family has suffered two previous bereavements, as two of her brothers died in separate incidents. A 13-year-old, Roy, passed away tragically, while Kilian, aged 18, died in Dublin. Molly has therefore become the third of nine Dempsey siblings to have lost their lives. “Molly was baptised in this church, and on August 21st, 2021, I confirmed her here, and the one thing I remember, she had taken the name of a male saint as her Confirmation name – that was more the exception than the norm. The name was Kilian, and she told me the reason for taking that name – it was the name of her brother who died – and I certainly thought it was most appropriate. His death had a profound effect on her and it was a beautiful tribute to a brother she loved deeply.
“We are here to offer you the support of our presence and the support of our prayers, because often at a time like this there is nothing else we can say or do. Just to realise that everyone shares your pain and wants to be there to support you, whatever way they can, and although Molly’s life was a life of 15 years, there was a lot that she achieved in that life and there are a lot of memories that she has left – and those are memories that you will hold on to for a long time.
