of her dreams 
in London

She was the dearly loved wife of Maurice of 142 Edenderry Park, Banbridge. Formerly Miss Kathleen Gartland, she met Maurice in London and the relationship grew that the Wexford man took the young Banbridge woman as his wife.

After their marriage they returned to England to their respective jobs. After returning home her son Stephen was born, while Joanne and Bernie were both born in England.

After returning home to Banbridge they sought different jobs about town. They enjoyed going out and were seen socialising. Worshipping at St Therese Chapel. She soon worked her way back into the community.

She was a woman of a friendly disposition 
and was highly respected by everyone who had 
the pleasure of knowing her.
