This site is dedicated to the memory of Anna Dirkin.
Dirkin, Anna (nee Hegarty)
7 March 1930 to 28 February 2010
Beloved wife of Denis and loving mother of Gary, Sean and Marianne
and dotting grandma of Sasha, James, Joel, Holly and Ava-Marie.
Of Rossville St and Marlborough St, Derry, NI; Glebe House, Aldergrove, NI; Islet Park Drive and Sheringham Court, Maidenhead.
Died peacefully in Eden Ward, Wexham Park Hospital.
Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there. I did not die.

Thoughts
She was my grandma rand I loved her so much she was so jolly and amazing and beautiful and I would have anything to have her back I miss her to much when I'm with my friends and I see their grandmothers with them I want to cry. It's one of the first times I have looked at this website and it just made me cry. Grandma I love you

It is with great sadness that I learned of Anna's passing.
My memories of Anna will always be of my smiling aunt who was always full of life and so much fun.
I think particularly of the many childhood holidays spent with you both in Antrim and Maidenhead or when you all came to visit us in Greencastle. I hope that your happy memories will sustain you and be some comfort at this very sad time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

When Denis married Anna she brought glamour to the Dirkin family. I loved her for her sparkling eyes and her mischevious smile, her wit and her sense of humour. At any family gathering she was such fun - the room lit up when she walked in.

I just thought to look over this page as I remembered the amazing women my grandma was and how I wish I could spend another day with her and tell her all the things that have happened since she passed and how much I’ve grown. I will love you forever grandma. You are irreplaceable.
