RIP: Longford mourns death of a lady who was devoted to her family and a great neighbour
Late Rose Gettings (née Harten), Ardagullion, Granard, Longford / Ballinagh, Cavan
The unexpected death of Rose Gettings of Ardaghgullion occurred in the loving care of her family and the staff of Our Lady's Manor in Edgeworthstown on Saturday, February 21.
Mrs Gettings was the former Rose Harten from Knockamore, Ballinagh and she was beloved wife of Michael Gettings, Ardaghgullion.
Rose was predeceased by her sister Liz and brothers Tom, Donald and Seamus and by her dear grandchildren Daniel, Katie and Mary.
Beloved mother of Andrew, Patricia, Geraldine, Michelle, Caroline and Micheal, she will be sadly missed by her 14 adored grandchildren Claire, David, Edel, Shane, Sean, Sarah, Eleanor, Riain, Keeva, Emily, Maria, Luke, Michael and Evelyn, sons in law Enda, Noel, David and John, daughters in law Sharon and Fiona, her brother Ollie and sisters Kitty and Patsy.
Rose was a very kind lady who lived a private life and worked hard for her family and who was always ready to help a neighbour.
Faith was very important for Rose and herself and Michael attended all ceremonies in St Mary's church in Granard where they sat under the gallery every Sunday.
Rose reposed in Smith's funeral home in Granard on Tuesday evening, February 24, and big crowds passed through to offer sincere sympathy to her family and to say a fond farewell to a loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister and great neighbour who will be sorely missed.
Following her reposing, Rose's remains were removed to her beloved St Mary's Church and as the hearse made its way up the hill it was flanked by guards of honour from St Mary's GAA club, Granard and from the Sean MacEoin branch of Fine Gael.
Rose's funeral Mass was celebrated at midday on Wednesday after which she was laid to rest in Granardkille new cemetery.
We offer sincere sympathy to her husband Michael and to her family at this sad time and we hope that Michael will make a very speedy recovery to good health and be home among his loving family very soon. May Rose Rest in peace.
