The death has occurred of Peggy Reidy, née McCarthy, Knocknagore, Castleisland and Killarney, Co. Kerry and late of Inch and Annablatha, Kilcummin, Killarney.
March 6th, 2018, peacefully, in the presence of her family and in the loving care of the Palliative Care team at University Hospital Kerry.
Sadly missed by her loving husband Danny, son Willie, daughters Bríd and Liz, daughter-in-law Breda, sons-in-law Jim and Sean, her adored 11 grandchildren, brothers Dan and Patsy, brother-in-law Jimmy, all extended family, relatives, neighbours and friends.
May She Rest In Peace.
There isn’t a women’s club or organisation in Castleisland in which Peggy didn’t play a significant role at one time or other since she moved to Castleisland almost 50 years ago.
She was deeply involved in politics and was a avid Fine Gael foot soldier at election times.
There was no need of a rallying call for Peggy. She would have been at Cllr. Bobby O’Connell’s or Jimmy Deenihan’s side as soon as an election was announced.
With that same zeal, she joined the Sliabh Luachra Women’s Retirement group when that time of her life arrived in recent years.
Peggy will also be known far and wide from her days as bean a’ tí with Ann O’Connor at Muckross Traditional Farm in Killarney.
May God be good her.
