    RIP Theresa McGurk

    I wanted to share the sad news of the passing of my mother, 85 years old and a lifelong supporter.
    She had been going to ER since 1946 and was still a season ticket holder. She attended the match last sunday and the 3-0 result filled her with enthusiasm for the future of our club
    She was regularly Behind the Goals before home matches and loved the fact that she would be there with her sons, grandchildren and great grandchildren. 4 generations of the family were often in attendance at ER.
    Older members associated with the supporters club may well know her as she was a long time member there.
    She was in Athens for the european tie in 2001 and also went to Trinidad and Tobago for the pre-season tour.
    She along with my Dad, Uncles and Grandparents attended ER for Years and none were able to witness the SC coming to ER.
    She passed away on the 2nd. January so the match that night had even more significance for us and the team did not let us down.
    Just wanted to share this sad news with the Hibernian Family of which she was so proud to be a part of

    Martin, I knew your Mum & Dad very well, mostly through the Supporters' Club until I left Edinburgh 33 years ago. I remember Theresa with great affection, she was a lovely lady & a wonderful Hibs fan. My Dad passed away 2 years ago at 92, also without ever seeing the Cup but supporting Hibs is much more than that as you rightly say. My sincere condolences at this tough time.

    RIP Theresa.

    My condolences

    Her name is familiar. I think my mother may have gone to school with her. Did she go to Holy Cross?

    My Mum (who is no longer with us) worked with your Mum in the civil service. The thing i remember my Mum telling me about your mum was what a great Hibee Theresa was (unfortunately my Mum was a Jambo and couldn't understand why my sister and I had season tickets at Easter Road!). I am glad she was able to see us win at her last visit to ER. Hope all your many happy memories will help you through this difficult time.

    RIP Theresa,

    Such sad news and I really feel your pain, my uncle Gerry Dray also died at 3pm on the 2nd.

    He was another massive Hibby!

    The derby result was really special. And I'm sure there would of been a massive Hibee party up there

    R.I.P. I can understand your loss my own mother a Hibby passed away on 24th September and I got the news just approaching the stadium for the Stranraer game that night. I stayed for the first half but missed most of it as I was texting the sad news to the remainder of the family.

    What a wonderful lady, I am so sorry for your loss but she has certainly left you all with a legacy. Family days out at the hibs games .... perfect. PS glad they won for us on Thursday that was an important result.

    She went to St. Thomas' which was next to the old Infirmary and was girls only at that time

    Condolences to your family. I remember your mum well from my days working for the social security. She was a great hibby and an even greater person.
    RIP Theresa
