Winifred McNama RIP

The death has taken place of Winifred McNama,
Knockacullion, Drumkeeran.

Winifred, better known to her family and friends as Winnie,
died in Sligo General Hospital on Sunday, 22
nd September.

Winnie spent her whole life in the Creevelea area.
Born Winnie Horan, she married Frank McNama.
She and her late husband Frank worked hard
on the farm to provide for their family.
They had five children; Ann, Mary, John P, Jimmy and Michael.
Sadly, her husband Frank died in 1988.

Winnie’s life revolved around her family and,
in more recent times, around her extended family.
She was a good provider, a good cook and baker,
and a lady who could do whatever was necessary
to bring up a large family in difficult times.

Winnie was an outgoing person who
always had a warm welcome for visitors to her home.
She was always willing to help her neighbours.

She took a keen interest in current affairs, both at local and national level.
She was an avid reader of the Leitrim Observer
and she followed the national news on radio and TV.

Coming from a strong traditional Irish music background,
Winnie enjoyed Irish music programmes and sessions.

She was also a woman of deep faith and a lady for whom the Mass
and her daily prayer were an important part of life.

We extend our sympathy to her family and to her neighbours and friends.

For her family, this has been a particularly difficult time.
On the day of Winnie’s funeral, her sister Mary Alice died in Arigna.
Another sister, Margaret, died in July.

Winnie’s funeral took place on Tuesday, 24th September.
Fr John Sexton, Killargue, celebrated the funeral Mass in Creevelea Church.

After the Mass Winnie was laid to rest in Aughaloghy Cemetery.
