So sad to hear of Bettys passing, fond memories of charlie and betty and our nights in the breffni inn, my deepest condolence to bettys family and friends,
May she RIP.

Just heard this very sad news. Charlie’s brother Alex and his wife Patty were my Aunt and Uncle and we would always pop in to see Betty at work and at Michans. She was always so stylish and full of life and laughter. Our deepest sympathies to all the family.

Only hearing of Bettys passing. She was a beautiful lady and always had a smile for everyone.

So sorry to hear of passing of Betty such à lovely person and a great neighbour she was the hart and soul of the community and will be truly missed.
May her gentle soul rest in pease

So very sorry to hear about Betty’s passing. A lovely lady. Full of fun and kindness. Condolences to all her family and friends. She will be very much missed not least among her neighbours. RIP Betty.

My deepest condolences to all of Betty’s family. I always enjoyed calling down to Betty’s house for a chat and a few biccies with Ciara, may she rest in peace.

Aunty Betty always bright, bubbly and laughing. Never forgot my birthdays, Christmas and even Easter. So good to my children too. Only a phone call away for Mum (Dympna) when Dad (George) wasn’t well. With me in the hospital when Mum died even though it was only a couple of months since she had lost Charlie. She was one in a million alright, will always be remembered with love. Rest in peace Aunty Betty.

So sorry to hear about the passing of Betty she was such a lovely lady always had time to chat thinking of all the family at this sad time she is reunited with her beloved Charlie who we always visit when we are in Deans Grange and we will visit both of them now

So sorry to hear of Betty’s passing. She was a wonderful neighbour for many years. Such a beautiful Lady, always with a happy smile. May she rest in gentle peace reunited with Charlie.

Betty had such an infectious smile and every room she entered filled with her warmth. I was privileged to have her as my great aunt, and have fond memories of Christmases spent with Betty. She was quick witted and kind hearted and always had time for you. I can still hear her saying 'jeewhizz' with enthusiasm as my younger self told her a story I'm sure she had no interest in.
May she rest in peace now with her beloved Charlie.

We are so sad that our lovely Auntie Betty has passed away, and we will miss her greatly. We have such fond memories of childhood caravan holidays and, in later years, the regular visits she and Uncle Charlie would make to see us in Yorkshire. Those times were always full of warmth, laughter and happiness. Betty will be lovingly remembered and sadly missed. Rest in peace.

Deepest condolences to all who have lost Betty. Anyone who met her will know how warm-hearted, welcoming and kind she was. We would sit for hours over tea and biscuits, chatting about everything and anything, and I’ll truly miss those conversations. She was like a second granny to me, and she had a lovely way of making time slow down. I will miss her dearly and always remember her with great fondness. May she rest in peace.

Sylvia / Buddy,
My deepest condolences to you both on your loss of Betty, if you were to say that Betty was a lady, it would be a Hugh understatement, she was more than just a lady.
Sean O'Casey once wrote " Memory is the only thing, that Grief can call his friend " and in our memories of Betty, we will share the grief.
My heart is with you in the difficult days ahead, unfortunately I'm away in Shannon this week on a work assignment.

She will be sadly missed, may Betty rest in Peace.
