Mayo native congratulated on 100th birthday celebrations

COMMUNITY NOTES: CHARLESTOWN - WESTERN PEOPLE (SEPTEMBER 3 EDITION)

Huge congratulations are extended to Mary Durkan who celebrated her 100th birthday on Thursday, August 22nd, which is a unique and magnificent achievement.

Mary hails from Swinford but spent much of her working life in England. She worked with Fortnum and Mason amongst other employers and they sent her a card and gift to mark the occasion which indicates how valued she was as an employee.

Mary was delighted to receive her honorary letter and gift from President Michael D Higgins now that she has joined that very select and special centenarian club.

Mary had a wonderful day of celebrations in St Attracta’s Residence, which commenced with mass celebrated by Fr Tommy Johnson P.P. Charlestown. 

Massive congratulations to Mary from all her friends at St. Attracta’s Residence.
