COMMUNITY NOTES: NORTH MAYO - WESTERN PEOPLE (JUNE 24 EDITION)
The late Eamonn Clarke, whose death took place last week following a short illness, was described by locals as a true gentleman, a keen businessman, ever pleasant to meet, with a great love for his native parish Knockmore and a dedicated supporter of Knockmore GAA both on and off the field. He was also involved with management wherehis attention to detail was always described as second to none.
Eamonn was a keen businessman who owned the well-known fashion store ‘Flair’ in Ballina. It was very popular with many and was always up to date with fashion and was a much loved store to visit and look around.
Eamonn of Fohill, Carramore-Lacken, was a native of Carrentrilla, Knockmore and a member of a family of seven born to parents Peter and Agnes Clarke. Sadly, he was deceased by his parents, his sister Maree and brothers Padraic and Muredach.
Eamonn’s remains reposed at McGowans Funeral Home on Thursday evening, June 19, with his Requiem Mass celebrated at 12 noon in St Patrick’s Church, Lacken on Friday. He was laid to rest afterwards in Rathfran cemetery.
Deepest sympathy is extended to Muriel, to his last remaining siblings - his sister Anne O’Hara, brothers Joe (Foxford) and Austin (Killanley), nephews, nieces, cousins, neighbours and many friends.
