After the radio host’s wife had been fighting cancer for six years, Anne Laird-Caffrey passed away peacefully on Tuesday in St. Vincent’s Private Hospital surrounded by her family.
Irish radio host Colm Hayes revealed the tragic passing of his “beautiful” wife Anne Laird-Caffrey. At St. Vincent’s Private Hospital, Anne passed away peacefully on Tuesday, surrounded by her loved ones. The Blackrock native had battled cancer for six years without valiantly.
In a heartfelt tribute to his wife on Instagram on Wednesday, the Classic Hits presenter said: “My beautiful wife Anne passed yesterday morning after living with cancer for 6 years. She was an amazing, brave woman who lived life to the very end. Her smile will never be forgotten.”
Our dear wife, mother, sister, aunt, and friend, Anne Laird-Caffrey, passed away with “deep sadness,” according to Anne’s death notice.

All those who knew and loved Anne will remember her extraordinary kindness and warmth as the glue that unites us all. She is predeceased by her mother, Margaret O’Neill, and her loving family includes Paul, Mark, Trish, Martin, Therese, Steven, and Tara, as well as her father Sylvester, husband, Colm, daughter Holly, and son Alex and his fiancé Laura.
Her uncle, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, extended family, and close circle of friends all feel deeply for her loss.
Our lovely Anne will be laid to rest on September 19th, from 5 to 7pm at Massey Bros. Funeral Home in Newtown Park. On Saturday, September 20, at 10am, her funeral service will be held at the Victorian Chapel at Mount Jerome Crematorium.
Lucy Kennedy, a co-host of Mr. Hayes’ Classic Hits, was one of the first to condolence Ms. Laird-Caffrey’s passing. Haysey, I adore you and am here for you whenever you need me. X. “
After Anne was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, Colm revealed that his “most treasured possession” had faltered. We’ve never discussed this publicly, but my wife will soon discuss it on a podcast because she was diagnosed with stage four metastatic breast cancer, the contestant for the 40 Day Health Challenge said in January.
“So we never have a party where the balloons are blue, we lift them, and they all lift up in the air before returning home.” Anne currently receives third-level chemotherapy. She has three weeks of chemotherapy every Monday before taking a Monday off over the course of the next five years.
It’s obviously enormous. I’m not sure how that woman continues. I can’t recall the AIB commercial “If Brave Is,” where a woman opens the coffee shop at eight in the morning and a man milking his cows, where I used to say, “If Brave Is, it’s Anne.”
He continued, “I believe that your life completely changes and changes as a result.” You believe that your future will change as your priorities change. We must be cautious because we discuss whether or not cancer can cause us to live or die.
“That’s really important, and I’m aware of how many people work in that field, but that’s where you’re at.
“I don’t think I could have imagined that over the past few years, I was dealing with it really well and people would say, “You seem to be dealing with it really, really well and you’re really positive with Anne,” I think. Really not inside.
