Ballycumber club notes
November 07, 2017Maura Buckley.
There was great sadness over the area when it was announced that "The Lady" that was Maura had passed away on Wednesday last in Beaumont Hospital. Maura was predeceased by her husband John, who became ill while officiating as an umpire at a football match in Parnell Park, Dublin and passed away in Beaumont Hospital.
Maura worked for many years with in the Parochial House in Tubber and was very popular with all who made contact with her. She was a very accomplished Baker, Artist, Gardener and Homemaker.
When Ballycumber Community Centre opened in 1984 Maura and John were familiar figures selling Bingo Books at the weekly Bingo sessions on Friday nights. The cover photograph of our Facebook page is of the Organising Committee taken on the opening night of Ballycumber Carnival in 1967 and in the centre of the group are Maura and John.
Maura will be missed by her brother Eamonn Kavanagh and sisters Kathleen Egan, Phil Daly, Margaret Lally and Dolores Egan and by their families. The extended Buckley and Kavanagh families, neighbours and friends.
