Dermy Leary

The wanderlust was in him for places far away
And he left Millstreet Town as a young man for to live in the U S of A
The likeable Dermy Leary in life he made many a friend
Far from his beloved Hometown and Millstreet’s old West End.

He always seemed so cheerful with great warmth in his hello
The dapper Dermy Leary a nice person to know
‘Tis so sad to think in Millstreet he will not be seen again
But with those who knew him from the past the good memories will remain

Elizabeth Hunter (nee Duggan) late of West End and Killarney Rd

I would like to inform people in Millstreet who might remember the Duggan family that Elizabeth sadly passed away in Oxford, England last week. The family lived for many years it the West End (Maurice Linehan’s solicitors office), and then moved to Killarney Rd.
Her parents were Finbar and Dolly. Finbar was the area engineer for almost 30 years. They both died in late 1980. After their deaths the family moved away. Elizabeth became head of the Science Dept in a large Comprehensive school in High Wycombe, England, and married her husband Barry Hunter, who also taught in the same school, while living there.
She is survived by Barry, her sisters Rosario, and Frances, and her brother Brian. May she rest in peace.
