Muckelty’s Bridget was a big fan of traditional music

THE recent peaceful death occurred of Bridget Johnston (nee Stenson), late of Muckelty, Achonry. In her 91st year, Bridget was pre-deceased by her late husband Michael and her son Mick. Bridget was always bright and cheerful, always had a smile on her face, and was a regular visitor to Tubbercurry over the years until her health presented challenges.

A lover of Irish music, she enjoyed traditional sessions with her sister Marian and late brother Paddy, and as her grandchildren came along showing great promise, she was extremely proud of them and loved to listen to their playing.

She was always very supportive of local activities in the Achonry/Mullinabreena area, and was active member of the local ICA group for many years.

Her remains reposed at her house where many family friends called to say goodbye. Funeral Mass was held in the Church of the Sacred Heart, Mullinabreena, and burial took place in Achonry Cemetery.

Bridget is survived by her daughter, Ann Marie, sons, Seamus, Kevin, Tom and Noel, sister Marian, brother Matt, in-laws, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and a large circle of friends, all to whom sympathy is extended. May she rest in peace.
