Belmullet Golf Club described their former Lady Captain as a person “full of integrity” and said: “The whole community has been rocked by news of her death.
“It was with profound sadness and deep, deep shock that we heard the news this morning of the passing of last year's Lady Captain Bernie McAndrew.
“A quiet lady, full of discretion and integrity Bernie served as Lady Captain in 2004 and again last year, 2020.
“She was a great club representative, having served in many roles in the ladies club throughout the years.
“She will be missed by so many people, particularly by her husband Ian, her own family, her in-laws and by her wide circle of work and golfing friends.
