Remembering Mrs Ciera Grimley

The Governors and Staff of St. Patrick’s Primary School Armagh were deeply saddened to learn of the recent passing of Mrs Ciera Grimley of Kilcreevy Road, Madden.

Ciera worked in St. Patrick’s in 2021-2022 as a Classroom Assistant in Primary 2. Her kind nature and caring instincts were on show each and every day that she worked in our school, quickly establishing a strong bond with her colleagues and the pupils she was helping. Ciera was always able to find the right words to comfort children when they needed it, and to encourage growth and development in their learning and their play. Her love for helping and nurturing children was evident in her approach to her role in St. Patrick’s, and Ciera left a lasting impression on those who worked closest with her.

Ciera’s family circle has close connections with St. Patrick’s, with her nieces, nephew and cousins attending both currently and in the past.

At this time, we offer our sincerest condolences to the Grimley and Geraghty families, and indeed the wider community of Madden, including our friends in St. Joseph’s Primary School Madden and Madden Raparees GAC, and the McElvanna and Haddock families, all of whom will have been affected by untold grief in such tragic circumstances.

We pray for Ciera’s immediate family, particularly her children, Tagdh, Mya and Cadhla, and ask that God’s light and love will shine upon them, guiding and protecting them in the months and years to come. We hope that her children know that they made both her and their father, Patrick, immeasurably proud in all that they did.

We pray that in this time of loss, they'll feel God's love much more, and that they’ll find their comfort in the presence of the Lord. We pray God pours upon them His sweet, amazing grace, and overflows their hearts with peace as they live in His embrace.

Eternal rest grant unto Ciera, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon her. May she Rest in Peace.
