‘We will remember Kate with pride and affection’
She had an emotional and inspirational impact on her community beyond anything she, or her parents, Kathleen Anne and John, her brother, Jack, and her aunt, Sheila, could ever have imagined.
Kate’s family run the Wayside Inn in Cloghroe, a place most of you have driven through at some stage, a place being all too quickly subsumed by urbanisation. It is where the local clubs meet - GAA, rugby, coursing, shooting, school fundraisers, even the crowd twinned with a village out in Brittany, the local Fine Gaelers and golfers - plan their lives, celebrate their victories and mark their sadnesses.
