Wexford community in mourning at passing of ‘exceptional and inspirational' young teacher
In an ode to her cheerful and happy demeanour, the song One Love by Bob Marley and The Wailers played out over the speakers as the procession into the church began. Originally from Carlow, she married her husband James in 2018 before starting a family in Bree with their two sons Jacob and Adam. A number of symbols representing her life were brought up to the altar, including a family photograph, books, her son's toys, flowers, and a handbag as she had a great love for fashion and style. Her brother Jonathon took to the altar to speak about the huge impact his sister had on their lives and everyone she met. "These words are from my heart, which I have struggled to get out over the last few days. Firstly I would like to thank James, her husband for always taking care of her – not only during her illness but over the years they have spent together. He has been a saint.' "I would like to thank Tanya for being in our life; Tanya was a gift. Anyone who knew her was blessed to know her. She was the kindest most loving person, who always put the needs of other above her own. She was also a very creative person – she was writing a children's book and hoped to get it published and she was a passionate teacher. Her students remember her as a great and fun teacher who have support,' he continued. He highlighted that her husband and her sons were her life and that she loved them beyond what words could express, before advocating for people to hold their loved ones closer while they could. "Tanya was our heart, she was the kindest and most fun sister a brother could have. To be honest, I don't know how to live in a world without her. The only thing I can say is, cherish the special people in your life and tell them you love them every chance you get. Our time is short.' Next up to speak was James' brother, who extended thanks on behalf of the family to the various people who gave their support, including the hospitals, the palliative nurses, the schools, and counsellors from the Hope Cancer Support Centre. To truly show the legacy she left on her students, having taught in Loreto Secondary School in Wexford and CBS Tramore, he read out a letter on behalf of one of her former students.

She was always full of compliments and when she passed one onto you, you felt like you were beyond brilliant. She made you feel important. I can't understate how nice she was, such a comforting presence. She listened, and she stood up for us in situations where we were silenced. It meant a lot,' he read out. "Mrs. Whelan could have rivalled life itself with her enthusiasm. She may not be here anymore, but these stories she's shared and her compassion will live on. May the world show her family all the kindness she's shown to my classmates and I.' Loved ones also took to to leave messages of condolences and messages detailed her role in the lives of her students and co-workers. One mourner wrote: 'My heart goes out to the O'Brien and Whelan families, especially Tanya's two little boys. I worked with Tanya in Tramore. She was a lovely girl, full of creativity, ideas and enthusiasm. It is terribly unfair to lose someone so young.' Another wrote: 'I had Ms Whelan a number of times throughout my time in Loreto, she was truly an incredibly bright person not just the way she teaches but in her spirt. She always came across as a genuine, caring and empathetic teacher. I will never forget how much she help me throughout my Junior Cert and the amount of effort she always put into everyone in the class. You will always leave her class feeling seen and respected.' A further tribute read: 'Ms Whelan was a teacher of mine whose warmth, enthusiasm and optimism inspired me throughout my Leaving Cert and moving forward with my life beyond second-level education. Her passion instilled a belief in myself that has irrevocably changed my life.' Another comment read: 'Tanya was an exceptional teacher whose dedication and care touched the lives of so many. She approached every day with kindness, friendliness, and an unwavering commitment to her students and the school community. Her generosity with her time outside the classroom, working tirelessly on initiatives to improve the school and create a better environment for every child, was truly inspiring. Tanya's passion and hard work made a lasting impact that will be remembered and cherished.' Dearly loved wife of James (Jim), loving mother of Jacob and Adam, cherished daughter of John and Tess and much loved sister of Jonathan, she will be sadly missed by her heartbroken family, aunts, uncles, father-in-law John, mother-in-law Sadie, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, nieces, nephews, relatives and many friends.
