Margo Bellew

My sincere sympathies to Louise and the rest of Margo's extended family. She was truly a lovely lady, and always brightened my day when I met her. May she rest well.

Margo was one kind fun loving lady, with a great sense of humour & a beautiful smile.
She taught accommodation & later she made a point of welcoming me back when I returned many years later.
We enjoyed many laughs , what wonderful stories she shared. Margo was always so encouraging whenever you met her.
A very special lady .Rip

Sincere sympathy to the extended family of Margo.
As a past student of DCC I always remember her saying
“Dust is just dirt in the wrong place”
We always kept in touch so I’ll miss her.

I was very happy to have been able to connect online with the "uplifting" celebration of Margo´s full life. Fr.John summed it up very well in saying that "Her life stood in opposition to the vulgarity
and "brashness" of today".
RIP

Our sincere condolences to Margo’s nieces, nephews and the extended Bellew family. I first went to Cathal Brugha Street in 1978 and Margo knew more about me then, than I knew about myself ! Having hailed from Ramsgrange in Wexford, she took me under her wing. She was the most loving, encouraging and genuine educator of her time. She had such a wonderful personality, so much so that we all became her friend and had Margo at our weddings and any other occasion worth celebrating over the years. Margo had a sincere interest in how you were getting on in your career. She nominated me to become a Fellow of the IHI and made sure it happened, I’m deeply saddening to hear of her passing. She was one in a million and much loved by us all. A life well lived. Rest in Peace Margo. Mattie O Connor

So sorry to hear of Margo’s passing. She was a wonderful lady, full of knowledge, a super character with a great sense of humour. It was always a pleasure meeting her back in the day at meetings in Cathal Bruagha Street or in the CERT Offices. Condolences to her family, may Margo Rest In Peace

To all in Margo's family, my deepest sympathy. I am very sad to hear that Margo has left this world.

She was a great teacher, mentor and friend, who continued to support me and many others long after we left her class room. Margo was the one who pushed me to apply for a position in CERT in the late 80's - a game changer for my career and indeed my life.

She was kind, great fun and I always enjoyed meeting her and grateful for her time. Rest well Margo x

Dearest Margo,
I write this to you and not about you! I’m so sorry to hear of your leaving.
From the time I was your student and later your colleague, you supported me through everything and offered so much encouragement and advice! I’m grateful for all that you did for me and my young family at the time I joined the staff in Cathal Brugha Street!
You always had a story to illustrate a point and told it with a twinkle in your eye! But Margo, I will always remember your kindness and the sound of your laughter in the corridors of the college! You were especially welcome in the restaurant when Tony Conlon and myself hosted it…a brilliant guest who always acknowledged the student’s efforts!
In short Margo you are a legend. I will miss you dearly. Travel well Margo!!!

Our deepest sympathy to all of the Bellew family - Margo's nieces and nephews on the death of Margo. May she rest in peace. She will be sorely missed.

I have very fond memories of Margo from my time in Cathal Brugha St. She was such a kind and gracious lady. Most of all I remember her sense of fun. I approached her some years after graduating for support with a project. She could not have been more helpful and gracious with her support and time.
May she rest in peace.

Deepest sympathy to all of Margo’s family may she rest in peace.
Margo was always ready for a chat in Cathal Brugha Street nothing better than a glass of wine, a story and a good laugh.

A legend of Cathal Brugha Street has made her way homeward. What great memories I and our whole class have of Margo's Accommodation Services classes in college, and even more created during our time as colleagues. Totally unsurprising to read of the absolute adoration of grand-nieces and nephews. Margo was a great storyteller, an epic performer and everything was always topped off with a permanent smile and a twinkle in the eye. She'll be so missed. Deepest sympathy to my colleague Louise, and all of Margo's family and friends.

So sorry to hear of Margo’s death RIP. She was the catalyst in the formation of the Association of Hotel Accommodation Management (AHAM) now the Irish Accommodation Services Institute IASI). She was a lively lady with a wicket sense of humour who loved passing on her great knowledge.

I have many good memories of Margo - she was an example to everybody of all that is good in Irish Hospitality - condolences to all her family

During my terms on IHCI Council and later as Deputy President and President I worked closely with Margo. We became friends. We didn't always agree over Institute affairs however I always valued her advice and counsel and sought it when I needed guidance in making critical decisions. Margo was a steadfast, loyal Member who's aim was always to promote the professionalism of Members in general and in particular to improve the standing and recognition of women in our Industry. Her name and her work in these regards must not be forgotten in the passing of time. Rest well Margo, your laurels will forever remain green. Joe

Farewell Dear Margo,
You were indeed a Great Friend, Condolences to all of Margo's Family, May Margo's precious soul
rest in Everlasting Peace.
Michael and Nuala Mallon.....

Many happy memories of Margo. She was on the management board of the IHCI subsequently the Irish Hospitality Institute and was a valued member/Fellow for many years. She had a great sense of humour and was always great company. May she rest in peace. Paul Boksberger

Margo was such a bundle of cheerfulness and great stories when I knew her when we both worked in DIT. When you saw Margo approaching, you always knew there would be an entertaining conversation and she would leave your chuckling about what she had to say. My thoughts are with her family

Aunty Margo as we have always called her was great friends with our mum Pam O'Donovan ( née Connolly). She was great fun. Coming from a family of 8 kids we loved her visits to Athy growing up & we enjoyed many laughs with her over the years. We aways enjoyed her company. Aunty Margo showed great interest in each one of our lives in her many conversations on the phone with mam over the years, she attended nearly all of our weddings. It was always lovely to meet her. We have very fond memories of Aunty Margo, may she now rest in peace. Amen.
