Notes: 

Maura - Ardcath Register of Interments records she was a spinster.
She was a one of a kind lady, mostly keeping to herself except for going to mass, the local shop and working with Sonny Matthews on his farm nearby. Neighbours made many attempts to assist her especially in her later years but she rejected most of the offers of help due to her eccentric nature.

She was subjected to unwanted interest from some unconsiderate and thoughtless individuals from far and wide through social media contacts who terrorised her by driving up and down past her residence and generally harassing her. May she rest in peace along with her mother and father.

Her mother Lily nee ? pasased on Novenber 28th 1976 and her register of interment (10 5) was signed by Christopher Cox.
