THE LATE ANNE BOYLAN
There was much regret locally on the occasion of the death of Ann Boylan, Drumhowra on Thursday last. Deceased who was aged 67 had been in poor health recently and passed away peacefully at her residence in the presence of her devoted family. A native of Ardee, nee Gaynor, deceased came to reside in Drumhowra along with her husband Seamus in 1996 where both got deeply involved in the local community. A highly intelligent and atriculate person Ann possessed great foresight and was a past President of the Mullahoran St. John's Conference of St. Vincent De Paul, having previously been President of the Clontarf branch in Dublin. She was also a champion Irish dancer and later become a teacher of high repute. On a poignant note Seamus and Ann were due to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary in 2 weeks time. The remains were received in St. Joseph's Church, Loughduff on Friday evening by Canon Owen Devaney and funeral took place following requiem Mass on Saturday morning. The chief celebrant was Fr. Kevin Fay assisted by Fr. Peter Casey, Ballinagh. We extend our sincere sympathy to her loving husband Seamus, son Colin and granddaughter Ciara, daughter-in-law Melanie and members of her extended family circle.

There was much regret locally on the occasion of the death of Ellen (Nellie) Briody, Drumbrucklis, Carrigan, which occurred peacefully at her residence on Thurdsay last. Aged 85 deceased had been in good health until a few months ago but nevertheless her passing will come as a great shock to her devoted family, neighbours and many friends I n the local community. Formerly Ellen Reilly from the Derries, Loughduff she was predeceased by her husband Denis (Dinny) many years ago. She was a deeply religious and friendly and inoffensive lady who was held in high esteem by all who knew her.

We extend our sincere sympathy to her sons Seamus and Sean, daughters Mary Ellen, Anne, Patricia, Betty and Brid, grandchildren and members of extended family circle, neighbours and many friends. May she rest in peace.
