On behalf of her only surviving sister in-law, Peggy and myself, we would like to share a few memories of times with Sr Catherine. After a long and varied and much travelled life, in which she stayed true to her vocation, with pride and dignity, she honoured her calling by example, she has now gone home. The end of an era, four sisters and one brother in religion out of a family of 10. Growing up as a 10/11 year old to hear a nun was coming on holidays was a big event in the west of Ireland but to hear four were coming was very big. Which is what happened in 1973 when all four sisters were home together since they had joined the nuns. It turned out to be the only time. How Sr Catherine enjoyed acting as chauffer driving them and Bro Celba around for a month. Next big event was Pat’s wedding, again she had car home from the UK, a green mini, again she done some miles. Years later when she was in Dublin, callers from the west or overseas (US, Australia) always got a great welcome and never left without tea or a full meal. A major talking point for her and the other nuns, was when I pulled in one evening driving a 40 ton truck. They thought they were being invaded - they lived in a 3 ton limit zone but I hadn’t know that until I got there! On the occasion of her 90th birthday party, the excitement, delight, happiness when William and myself walked in, she was so delighted she kept calling us her two favourite nephews all evening. Ponder a thought. For a woman born in a time when many women didn’t go to school past national school 12/13 years, if she had chosen a different path in life how far up the business ladder would she have climbed? May she look down on us and guide us. May she rest in peace. Padraic
