Since her death was confirmed, the community of Clonmel has come together to honour the late midwife by launching a fundraiser to support her funeral costs and her family.
The Irish Mirror reported that a postmortem was carried out at University Hospital Waterford by the State Pathologist, and foul play has been ruled out.
Grace was last seen in Clonmel during the morning of November 21, 2025.
Locals in Clonmel had organised searches and held vigils in the aftermath of her disappearance.
A GoFundMe called ‘Grace Benyin Funeral and Family Support’ has been set up for her. €21,944 has been raised so far.
The fundraiser page described Benyin as a woman of deep compassion, strength, and selflessness.
“Through her work as a midwife, she brought life into the world and comforted countless families during their most precious and vulnerable moments. Beyond her profession, she lived out the values of her Ghanaian upbringing, caring not only for her own children but extending love, guidance, and support to many who knew her.”
“To so many, she was more than a friend; she was a mother figure, a pillar of strength, and a source of encouragement.”
Benyin is survived by four children, aged five, seven, nine, and 15 years, and her husband.
