We here in Rush.Co Dublin. Are thinking of Sorca's family at this sad time.
Source was a school friend of Anna.
My Mam as good memories of the times they spent together.
May Sorca Rest in peace.

Our many thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family. Growing up with you as neighbors and best friends, you couldn't ask for any better! Sorca was much more than thoughtful and kind, she was more like a second MOM to us, and we will think of you often!

Thoughts and prayers to the Boran family from all the Foys.

My aunt Cella (Marcella) Owens and Sorca met as teenagers in the Gaeltacht (Irish summer college). They had re established their long distance friendship in latter years (Cella died in 2010), including a lovely afternoon together in Balbriggan when Sorca was on a visit home.

This described some of the places she had...

What a wonderful and delightful lady. I so enjoyed working with her at Borgess Emergency & Trauma. The fresh scones and jam with her Irish wit made our day! A life well lived.

She was so supportive of our softball ventures! So sorry for your loss, she was a positive influence for many.
