Thurles is in mourning this day following the announcement of the passing of well known and very popular lady Norah Fewer, after a lengthy illness.

Norah, ran the family newsagency at 2 Liberty Square for many years - a shop which was an institution in the Cathedral Town for many generations of locals and visitors alike. And, her easy way with people, as well as her keen business sense ensured that the newsagency thrived and continued to serve the people of Thurles with great dedication for many decades.

Wife of well known accountant Joe Fewer, of Spain, Fewer and Quinlan, Norah was involved in, and supported, many local organisations throughout her life. She was so well known to many, not just through her business, but also through many organisations including Thurles Musical Society, Thurles Golf Club and many others.

Norah, predeceased by her parents James and Johanna, passed away peacefully at home in Clongour surrounded by her family - she had  borne a lengthy illness with great dignity and fortitude, battling for every last minute to spend with her children, grandchildren and husband.

Her untimely passing has left a deep sense of shock and sadness throughout her home town and much further afield.
