By Suzanne Pender A NEW logo, a new schedule and a renewed sense of enthusiasm for the 2022 Tullow Agricultural Show, which was official launched this week.
Betty Cowman (née Butler) of Mill Road, Bunclody passed away on Wednesday, November 4 at the age of 71.
Betty was the second of nine children born to Patrick and Margaret Butler of Newstown, Ardattin. She was a kind, caring sister and always there to help her parents.
Betty attended Ardattin National School, then Technical School in Tullow and then completed a secretarial course before taking up her first position with Sam Agar Grain Store in Tullow.
She served as Secretary of Tullow Show Society for many years, and during this time Betty was selected as Queen of the show. During the spring of 1970 Betty moved to work in accounts in Bunclody Co-op, after taking over from Sam Agar. She made life long friendships with many of her fellow colleagues at the Co-op.
