RIP: Passing of proud Mayo woman sparks trip down memory lane
The Charlestown native spent recent times in Claremorris, having worked in Dunnes Stores in Ballina
NANCY McCormack, Rockview House, Convent Road, Claremorris, Mayo, who died suddenly at her home last week, was formerly of Ardara, Charlestown.
Many friends recall Nancy from her years working in Dunnes Stores in Ballina where she was held in such great regard.
Several colleagues from those times have been to the fore in leading the warm tributes in recent days.
Many described Nancy as a kind and caring lady and the life and soul of many gatherings where fun and laughter was always to the fore.
She was renowned for the way she could assist people with their shopping needs and always make them feel comfortable and so welcome.
Among the many tributes was one from Carmel Geelan in Ballina that summed up Nancy’s contribution in a special way: “Your presence made Dunnes work brighter and life better for everyone who knew you.”
Reposing was in Gilligan’s Funeral Home with removal to St Colman’s Church. Following the funeral Mass on Tuesday, burial took place in Bushfield Cemetery, Charlestown.
Nancy, who was predeceased by her parents John and Nora (nee Durkan), her sister Una Begley (Facefield) and her brothers Brendan and Tommy and sister-in-law Mary, will be sadly missed by her brothers Peter (Ardara, Charlestown) and Joe (Balla), her sister Margaret Flannelly (Easkey), her sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, relatives, neighbours and friends.
