In Memory of Ian McCaugherty

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our dear friend and fellow Locke House resident, Ian McCaugherty, on the 14th of February 2025. Ian will be fondly remembered by all of us at Locke House for his kindness, warmth, and the many conversations we shared.

Ian was a cherished brother to Leslie, Carol, Derek, Shirley, and Tara, as well as a beloved uncle and brother-in-law to Sandra, Clive, Joanne, and Michael. His presence will be greatly missed by his family and all who had the pleasure of knowing him.

In accordance with the family's wishes, Ian’s funeral service will be private. The family has kindly requested no flowers. Instead, donations in Ian’s memory may be made to Praxis Care (Portadown) via www.milnefuneralservices.co.uk/donate or by cheque payable to Praxis Care, c/o Milne Funeral Services, 57 Tandragee Road, Lurgan, BT66 8TL.

The information in this post was sourced from Funeral Times.

I attempted to make a donation, but the payment system or description appears to be incorrectly configured. I will inform the responsible persons at Locke House to look into this. Perhaps by the time you are reading this, the issue will already be resolved, and donations will be successfully processed.

Our thoughts are with Ian’s family and friends during this difficult time. He will always be remembered with love and respect by the Locke House community.

Pancake Day at Locke House – A Flipping Good Time!

Today at Locke House, we celebrated Pancake Day in the best way possible—by eating delicious, fluffy pancakes! The atmosphere was warm and lively, with everyone chatting and enjoying the treats. Personally, I only managed to grab one pancake (cue the sad face 😞), but even that single bite was worth it. The conversation flowed as freely as the syrup, and the company made the event even better. Coffee and tea were also available, making it the perfect cozy gathering. Oh, and once again, I completely forgot to take a picture. I have no idea how to remind myself to pull out the camera! 📸😅 All in all, it was a fantastic gathering filled with good food and even better company. Looking forward to the next excuse to make (and eat) more pancakes! 🥞✨
