CENTENARIAN Bridget Frain died over the weekend at the residence in Milebush, Castlebar, of her niece, Kathleen and John Burke.

Bridget, who would have been 101 in November, was a native of Ballinvoher, Kilmovee.

She attributed her long life to hard work, plain food, not worrying too much and practising her religion.

Her remains will be reposing at Kilgarriff’s Funeral Home, Market Street, Ballaghaderreen, tomorrow (Monday) evening from 5 o’clock until 7 o’clock with removal to the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Kilmovee, arriving at 7.30.

Our sympathy to Bridget’s relatives on their loss.
