The reflection was given by Michael Walsh, son-in-law.
Kate is survived by her sons Bernard and Michael (both Partry), Pat, London, daughters Bridie Walsh, Partry, Mary Feerick, London, Kathleen McGee, Irishtown, Ann Riley, London, daughter-in-law Mary Heneghan, Partry, sons-in-law Michael Walsh, Partry, Joe McGee, Irishtown, and Frank Riley, London, nephew Michael John Casey, Tourmakeady, also, grandchildren, great grandchildren, cousins, neighbour and carers.
