RIP: Longford community 'heartbroken' following death of 'beautiful friend' Mary Jordan

Sadly we record the death of Mary Jordan of Barry, Kenagh which occurred at her residence after a long illness on Friday, August 22. 

Mary, who was in her early sixties, was a very active and popular lady in the Kenagh - Ballymahon locality until she got terminally ill over the past two years. 

Mary was formerly Mary Walsh, a daughter of Joe and Bridgie Walsh, Terlicken and only sister to her six brothers. 

Along with rearing her family of five children she was a very popular member of the catering business both in Kenagh village and Ballymahon.
