Late Mary Teresa (May) Mulvihill (née Murphy), Rathcline Road, Lanesboro, Longford / Kilteevan, Roscommon
The sad news of the death at Roscommon Hospice on Monday, August 4 of Mary Teresa (May) Mulvihill (née Murphy), Rathcline Road, Lanesboro came as a shock to us all.
May, as she was more commonly known, was formerly from Kilteevan. She was predeceased by her parents Elizabeth and Patrick, her brothers Martin, Joe and Eddie, her sisters Eileen, Annie May, Delia, Una, Lilly and Ann.
Born in 1931, May came from a family of twelve children and she immigrated to England at the age of 16 years.

She met her future husband Joe at a dance in Strokestown and for 67 years they lived happily together, 28 years in England and the remaining 39 years back in Ireland and almost all that time in Rathcline.
May was a lovely lady and her warm and welcoming greeting as well as her beaming smile endeared her to everyone that she met. She was quietly spoken, kind and caring nature and May had a very ladylike manner.
May loved to walk, chat and play cards and she was an excellent neighbour and friend to so many. She was a lady that loved to travel with America and Australia being particular favourites for her.
