DRANGAN/CLONEEN

Obituary: Mina (Mary Philomena) Gorey

The death occurred unexpectedly at her home in Shanakyle on Saturday, May 30, six weeks short of her 92nd birthday. Mina was the eldest of two children of the late Paddy and Maria Hayden, Old Grange, Graiguenamnagh.  She was predeceased by her husband Sean in  1999 and her brother Pat in  2018. 

Mina married Sean Gorey on June 11, 1957 and they then moved to Drangan to start their life together. Life in Shanakyle, in the early years, was tough, but they worked hard alongside each other and made a good living. She loved her poultry, laying hens, chickens and of course her beloved turkeys.  Her last flock of turkeys for the Christmas trade was in 2002.

Mina joined the Drangan branch of the ICA in 1972. She was an active member of the branch and served as president, secretary but most often as treasurer. She was the stereo typical ICA lady, a great cook, baker, dressmaker and always turned herself out well. She made some of her best and lifelong friends in the ICA. When the Drangan branch dissolved she joined the Fethard branch and made new friends.

In the few years before Sean died, they travelled the length and breadth of Ireland and travelled abroad on many a Glanbia/Teagasc trip. In later years she was a member of the Active Retirement group and continued to travel with her friends on day trips and multi-day trips within Ireland. A very special thanks to her Active Retirement group, who formed a covid friendly guard of honour before her Requiem Mass.

Mina was a Child of Mary in her early years in school in Graiguenamanagh and joined the Drangan Legion of Mary on moving to Tipperary. She also had great devotion to the Sacred Heart.  

With current regulations Mina’s funeral was a very different occasion. She always made her home a welcoming place for visitors and this was reflected by the outpouring of kindness from her neighbours, friends and relations. While maintaining a social distance they came to pay their respects and conducted a most memorable and intimate outdoor rosary in the front yard. Their farewell along the road on her final journey to the church of The Immaculate Conception, Drangan were all greatly appreciated by her family.

A special word of thanks to Fr Tony Lambe for celebrating her Requiem Mass and to Sally Anne Ryan for her elegant singing. We would also like to acknowledge the courtesy and professionalism of McCarthy’s funeral directors who gave us such support and guidance during this difficult time.

May she rest in peace.

MULLINAHONE

Alma Vaughan R.I.P.

The funeral took place in Mullinahone over the weekend of Alma Vaughan who had been battling against Cancer for a number of years.  Alma came to live in Mullinahone from Kilsheelan almost 50 years ago on her marriage to Lance Vaughan. 

She was the mother of Billy, Kyran and Larry as well as a beloved mother-in-law and grandmother. 

She was universally popular because of her sunny disposition and how she was friendly to all.  She took part in many local groups and the turnout at her funeral spoke volumes for the esteem in which she was held.  She had fought a long hard battle with illness, but eventually had to give way. 

Her funeral from St. Michael’s Church was broadcast on You Tube.  This was a relief to her many friends who wanted to attend her funeral Mass.  May Alma’s soul rest in peace.  Our sympathy on her death to her family and extended family.
