CHAMANDY, Maree Christina (Finn) - June 14, 1931 – May 21, 2021 - We thought our mother would live forever because nothing could keep her down.
So, it comes as quite a shock to announce that she died peacefully, just three weeks short of her 90th birthday.

Always proud of her Irish heritage, Mum was born in Belfast and raised in Dublin, the second of Matt Finn and Sarah McLarnon’s five children.
