Gabie – A Career Giver and Provider
There are people for whom a niche is kept in the hearts of friends and members of their community. That’s almost always for services rendered at one time or another along the journey we’re all on.
Those people, that kind of person is a career giver, a life long provider of love and light. Communities aren’t full of them – you could fit them in the proverbial handful.
Gabie Keane was one – most certainly. Her full, 88 year long, life came to its natural conclusion yesterday.
Personification of Style
Gabie was the personification of artistic style and talent. She couldn’t help it – pure style came so naturally to her. There were only two people in my meandering career of news peddling that I downed tools for and complied the summons issued from their quarters.
I always came away brightened and enlightened from these ‘invitations’ from either Gabie or Michael O’Donohoe.
There’s so much more to say about Gabie and her considerable involvement in the life of the community here. I’ll do so during the week with the input of her friends and entertainment co-conspirators. May God be good to her.
