‘She was loved and adored’

A WALKING saint who doted on her 21 grandchildren and cared for others until the day she died.

That was how the heartbroken family of Cissie Yelverton remembered their mother after an emotional and difficult inquest at Cork Coroner’s Court yesterday.

But they also said the energetic 79-year-old widow, originally from Co Clare, had told them that if she was ever knocked down, it would be her own fault.
