In the Corkman – 15th November 2012

The Corkman Newspaper is out every Thursday in all the local newsagents, and contains much more than just the online version.

Betty Fitzgerald

She was born as Betty Conway, Fitzgerald was her married name
An attractive looking woman in her young years though she never yearned for wealth or fame
A good mother to her son John and to Jim her husband a good wife
So sad to read the news of the passing of one who led an honorable life
With dark brown hair the young Betty Conway looked beautiful in her life’s prime
When she was one of Millstreet’s finest going back some four decades in time
A charming and kind hearted person one unaffected by conceit
She will be missed by friends and family in Murphy’s Terrace and the Town of Millstreet
