Gwen’s Funeral - Family Booklet, Video, Service Booklet
Gwen was lucky enough to have two services, both presided over by her nephew Father Mark O’Brien who flew up from Melbourne specially, just managing his trip at the tail end of the latest COVID lockdown.
The first service was for those of us who wanted to give Gwen a more Catholic farewell, and was held at St Thomas Catholic Church, the church which Mum had attended and served at, since her wedding almost 70 years before.
St Thomas’ Catholic Church, Willoughby

The Catholic service was followed by a less religious service at the Camellia, one of the Macquarie Park chapels. The Family Booklet can be accessed by clicking here and the full video of that service is available by clicking here.
