Kathleen, 113, set to make Irish history
Clare-native Kathleen Hayes Rollins Snavely was born in Feakle in 1902. She emigrated to Syracuse in 1921. The longest-living person ever born in Ireland was Annie Scott, who was born on March 15, 1883. Annie died in 1996, aged 113 years and 37 days. Kathleen will make history again in 36 days when she surpasses that age.
Today, Kathleen is “hard of hearing but clear of mind”, and has lived an extraordinary life.
