The following was her obituary:
We regret extremely to have to announce the demise of the Countess Dowager of Carrick which occurred at Kingstown on Saturday last after an illness of two days.

Her ladyship was in her 81st year and during her long life the greater portion of which was spent in our country and in our immediate neighbourhood. A day did not pass, on which the poor and dependant did not receive abundant reason to visit their benevolent patroness with blessings.

On Thursday the remains of her Ladyship were borne, through Gowran for internment in the family burial ground at Killeen within the Demesne of Mount Juliet. The funeral was attended by a great number of exhaulted relatives of the deceased, and by a large cortege, comprising the rank, wealth and respectability of our city and county.

Among her Ladyship's more immediate relatives and attached friends who were in attendance, Were the Hon C.B. C.S. Wandesforde and his sons: The Hon Messrs Maxwell, brothers to Lord Farham: Rev Mr Prior, P.S.Butler Esq, Lodge Park. Messrs Butler, Ballyconra: Rev .B Morris. The funeral service was celebrated by the Rev Mr Prior.
