Life does have it’s good times and it’s moments of tears
In Murphy’s Terrace Marian Galvin with her family lived her younger years
One of the pretty young women in her time in Millstreet
Quite a charming young person and unshackled by conceit
She became Mrs John O’ Connell and raised her children in Derrinagree
A beloved wife and mother and grandmother in her family
She was not an old person in her mid to late sixties or early seventies maybe
For to live to die old not in her life’s destiny
It is so sad to learn Marian has lived her last Fall
But the journey of life it does end for us all
Just a twenty minutes walk from Murphy’s Terrace where she had lived for many a day
By Cashman’s Hill in St Mary’s her last remains lay
Hope her parting from life for her was not a painful release
She lived as a good person may she now rest in peace.
