Jenny had a deep faith and a great love for Ireland
THERE was great sadness in the Avoca and Rathdrum areas recently at the news of the death of Jenny Alexander.

Jenny was educated in Ballinatone NS and Mercer’s Boarding School in Castleknock.
Later, she was employed in the Irish Press and also worked in Fanning’s of Grafton Street.

Jenny continued to live at Evergreen Farm, Knockenree until her death on July 24, 2018.
She had a very practical faith and a great love in particular for the Book of Psalms.
