One Moment in Time

Rena Sheridan, Beagh, received a bouquet of flowers to mark the 70th anniversary of arriving in Killinkere NS as a teacher on July 7, 1951.

Rena fondly recalled walking through the door of Killinkere NS on her first day as a young teacher. Last Tuesday started with a special Mass celebrated by Fr Eamonn Lynch in thanksgiving for Rena’s blessings in life and remembering all those she loved who have passed on.

Among those at the mass were two pupils who were eagerly waiting to see their new teacher 70 years ago. Vincent (Vincie) Clarke and Margaret Tackney (now O’Dwyer) recalled fond memories with great nostalgia. They presented Rena with a bouquet of flowers and were both on their best behaviour.

Rena and family are wished good health and happiness.
