LATE MARY KEARNS
Deep and widespread regret was occasioned by the passing of Mary Kearns (née Byrne) Ballinlug, Killanne which occurred on Friday, November 16, Deepest sympathy is extended to her daughter Ann and sons Séamus, John, Pat, Declan and Vincent and also to her brother Tom and sisters Alice, Betty and Joan, grandchildren, son-in-law, daughters-in-law, nieces and nephews and extended family.
Mary was pre-deceased by her husband Patrick and by her brothers Hugh, John and Jim. She was an esteemed member of a well known and popular family and will be fondly remembered for her quiet but generous and neighbourly nature and loving mother, grandmother, sister and friend to all.
