Carmen Marie McAteer (11 Oct 1957 - 20 Jun 2024)

RIP Carmen. I enjoyed working with you. So sorry that your wonderful life has been cut short. Gone way too soon x

Carmen, you were a flame that always burned brightly. There'll be less light and laughter in the world without you. So sorry to see you go so soon.

I was greatly saddened to here that Carmen is no longer with us. Carmen and I worked together in the Scottish Government for many years; she was highly skilled and creative and strongly focussed on service improvements to benefit patients. Carmen was generous with her time and expertise in supporting colleagues, always with good humour. Carmen was also a good friend and I will always value the memory of her sense of fun and of course exquisite style. Very much missed. With great sympathy to her family and saddened that her life has been lost so early.

Gone too soon, Carmen will be missed by many, I'm certain Celia & Carmen will be re-united in heaven xx

Carmen you were intelligent, witty, smart, always well dressed and coiffured. I will miss our banter and political discussion. Gone too soon Gail xx

Carmen was a very special friend snd colleague. A love of music, flowers and birds, passionate about women's rights and the essential good of the NHS. To me she was a very dear friend and we shared wonderful times at opera, ballet snd concerts. She will be so greatly missed. Her devotion to her family was paramount. My love and condolences to her dear children, grand children and brother. Zoe

I am so sorry that I won’t be there with you all at the Funeral of my magnificent friend. Carmen was an inspiration to me. I will raise a glass and be thinking of you.
