Shock at sudden death of Seanie
THERE was a great sense of shock and sadness in the MitchelstownGlanworth area on Sunday morning, September 25 when news broke of the untimely death of Seanie O’Brien at Cork University Hospital.
The late Seanie had been at a family wedding on the Saturday but suffered a fatal fall when he returned home that night.
His popularity was borne out in the very large and representative attendance at the removal on Tuesday evening from the Chapel of Rest, Baldwin St, Mitchelstown to Curraghagalla Church and also at the Requiem Mass and burial on Wednesday. Interment took place to the Cemetery adjoining Mitchelstown Parish Church.
A guard of honour was present as the coffin left the Chapel of Rest by Fianna Fail members, members of Glanworth GAA and many work colleagues.
The late Seanie had been employed at Galtee Foods up to the time of his retirement as a manager. He was very well known in political circles.
He played football and hurling for his native Glanworth and played Minor football for Cork in the 1963. In 1990 at the age of 45 he captained Glanworth Junior B hurlers to county honours.
He served as selector and coached a number of Glanworth teams.
In recent years he was employed in Market Research by Behaviour & Attitudes.
