Famous artist’s widow donates painting to care home

Ben Maile’s widow, Carrie, said she wanted to donate a signed painting of a Greek island, where the couple holidayed, to the team at Glyntown Care Centre in Cork to thank them for the care they showed him in the weeks and months before his death. Mr Maile, who spent most of his life in Cornwall, lived at the home near Glanmire from last September until his death there in February. He was 94.

Director of Nursing, Majella Cussen, said they remember him fondly and were honoured by Carrie’s gesture.
