MRS S BURKE,

BOHERMEEN

A LINK to the county's gaeltacht communities was severed in late August with the passing of Mrs Sarah Burke (92) of Rodstown, Cortown. A member of the Casey family of the south Connemara gaeltacht of Carna, she was predeceased by her husband Thomas in 1972 and passed away on her wedding anniversary.

She taught for most of her professional life in Meath, being based in Baile Ghib from 1940-50 and Boyerstown NS from 1957-80. Her own fluency enabled her to work well with the Mayo, Kerry and Donegal migrant children in the newly-formed Baile Ghib community.

She is survived by her sons Peter, Colm, Thomas and Martin; daughter Mary; daughters-in-law Rosanna, Helen, Dolores and Patricia; son-in-law Michael; sister Margaret (London); grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Her remains were removed to St Ultan's Church, Bohermeen where Requiem Mass was celebrated prior to interment in the adjoining cemetery. The Month's Memory Mass will be celebrated there on Sunday, 30th September at 11am.

MRS B GREEN,

NAVAN & BRISBANE

THE passing in Queensland, Australia of a much-loved grandmother last July closed a link with one of Navan's older business families. Mrs Bridget Theresa (Terrie) Green was a member of the Everard family, which ran the public house and lived in an adjoining house on Market Square. She was in her 90th year and had been predeceased by her Cavan-born husband, Tommy, several years ago.

Mrs Green, her husband, two sons and a daughter resided in Bristol before emigrating to Australia almost 50 years ago, where they resided in Ipswich, Brisbane, the capital of Queensland.  She passed away on 26th July last and her funeral took place to the Church of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Leichardt, where Mass was celebrated prior to interment in Wallerrill Park Cemetery.
