Nora Adams formerly Nora Stack of Upper Aughrim died recently in Australia. Sympathy is extended to her family, particularly her sister Mary & brother Richie who live in the parish.
Michael Moloney, of Leitrim Middle, one of our oldest citizens, left us suddenly last week. A man with a love for the land and in particular, horses he never missed a horse fair in Listowel. A quiet man, he loved to go to Bingo and while most people many years younger than Michael needed glasses to mark their books he never used glasses. He was waked at home and his funeral Mass was celebrated by his next door neighbour Fr. Dan Ahern. Fr. Dan’s brother, Seán sang the Mass. On his ninetieth birthday, Tuesday, January 18th Michael was brought, in what would have been his chosen mode of transport, a hearse, drawn by a shiny black horse, to his final resting place in Murhur graveyard. He is survived by his wife Bridie, sons James & Thomas, brother Eddie and sisters Joan & Margaret. His family would like to thank their neighbours and friends for the kindness and generosity shown to them during the wake and funeral.
May they all rest in peace.
