Tributes Paid to Beloved Matriarch Maureen Mullins
The horse racing world is in mourning as Maureen Mullins, the beloved matriarch of the famous Mullins family, passed away on Wednesday morning at the age of 94. Maureen, who was the mother of well-known trainers Willie and Tony, Tom and Sandra, as well as George, who runs a renowned horse transport business, leaves behind a lasting legacy in the racing community.
Maureen Mullins was born and raised just outside Goresbridge in Co. Kilkenny, where she tragically passed away. She was surrounded by her loving family in her final moments, bidding farewell to a life filled with passion for the sport.
Her son Tony confirmed her passing on Wednesday, revealing that Maureen had been battling dementia for the past two years. Over the last three weeks, her health had deteriorated, leading to her peaceful passing at home.
Maureen and her late husband Paddy, who passed away at the age of 91 in 2010, created a horse-racing dynasty that will be remembered for generations to come. All five of their children achieved success on the track as jockeys, with four of them going on to become winning trainers.
Tramore Racecourse expressed their deep sadness and released a statement, saying, “A wave of sadness has engulfed the community as we mourn the loss of the beloved matriarch Maureen Mullins. She was not only a cherished member of her family but also a shining supporter of Tramore Racecourse. Her resilience, warmth, and unwavering support will be greatly missed.”
Maureen’s funeral is expected to take place in Goresbridge this weekend, where family, friends, and members of the racing community will gather to pay their respects to this remarkable woman.
The racing world has lost a true legend, and Maureen Mullins will forever be remembered for her unwavering dedication and love for the sport. Our thoughts and condolences go out to the Mullins family during this difficult time.
