It is with great sadness that we hear of the passing of Helen Delahunty (née Healy) Rathronan, Clonmel, Co Tipperary, a much loved member of Tipperary Musical Society’s early production teams.
Helen was a kind , fun loving, professional makeup artist who ensured everyone’s stage makeup was perfect down to the last detail, especially remembered for her highly acclaimed artistry during Showboat.
Helen had a wicked sense of humour coupled with her professionalism and many a good laugh is remembered in the dressing room underneath the Marian hall stage where her sense of fun quenched pre-show nervousness while at the same time completely focused on her job.
We extend our deepest sympathies to her husband Michael and immediate family and many friends. May her gentle soul rest in peace.
Helen is pictured also here with Bridget Whelan during the TMS production of The Merry Widow.
