Teresa and Timothy Mitchell - Died 11 April, 2020 and 6 May, 2020
Teresa Brophy and Timothy Mitchell met at a dinner dance in the Ormonde Hotel in Dublin. It was love at first sight according to their daughter Therese. Timothy would often miss his last bus home to Dún Laoghaire, walking Teresa back to Christchurch. The couple were married for 58 years and lived in Walkinstown. They had four children and five grandchildren.
Timothy worked for a battery manufacturer in Drimnagh, but as a trained tenor, singing was his passion. He often serenaded his wife Teresa with the song Sweet Sixteen . He was a talented pitch and putt player too, winning many trophies over the years.
