Late Nellie a north Clare legend
February 19, 2021
Eileen Jude passed away on Valentine’s day -just two weeks after celebrating her 106th birthday.
She was a remarkable person in many ways. Born into the Garrahy family of the Square, Ennistymon, County Clare, on 29th January 1915, Eileen did not have an easy childhood.
She was just one of 13 children living in a three-bedroomed house, which still stands today and is used as a business premises in the town.
