Olive (97), late of Letterboy Road, Ederney, passed away suddenly on the afternoon of Friday, April 9.
Speaking on behalf of her family, Olive’s eldest daughter, Jennifer Barton, described her late mother as “very loving”.
“I couldn’t have asked for better. She was very outgoing and sociable. She was a very lively lady and very colourful,” she said.
Born on March 21, 1924 to George and Mary Montgomery, Olive was raised along with her seven siblings on a small farm in the townland of Tirmacspird, on the outskirts of Ederney village.
She grew up in a very musical household and thoroughly enjoyed playing the accordion and the violin, which she taught herself by ear.
