CARMEL Quinn loved life. No matter what obstacle came her way she overcame it.
She was a character with a wicked sense of humour and always a wee glint in her eye.
Carmel was born in the High Street area of Newry where her family, the Hannas, had lived since the 1890s.
She was one of 10 children and had a carefree childhood. There wasn’t much in the way of material things but her’s was a family grounded in love.
Carmel didn’t care much for learning but she loved St Clare’s Primary School where she made lifelong friendships.
