Obituary
Ann Carroll (Nee Treanor) 1933-2009
Ann from 34 Monaghan Row, Newry, passed away on June 21, 2009 in Newry Hospice after a short illness. Ann was the daughter of the late John and Elizabeth Treanor of Dominic St, Newry and was the sister of Jim, John, Michael, Oliver, Brian, Marion, Margaret, Josphine, Clare and Elizabeth.
She married her late husband John (Jackie) Carroll from Bessbrook they had 17 children together; Mary, Josephine, Ann, Patricia, Rosetta, Jacqueline, John, Kieran, Colm, Melinda, Martin, Vincent, Elizabeth, Desmond, Sinead, Louise and Adrian.
In her younger days she spent a lot of time with her aunts and cousins in Dromintee and in more recent times she visited the area enjoying long walks and visiting local historical sites which brought back fond memories of her youth.
She was also a keen dressmaker who loved nothing more than making outfits for all her children whom she always dressed immaculately. Ann had a great love for fashion and was always up to date in the latest trends and styles.
Ann was a very caring and patient person who loved nothing more than taking her children and neighbours children for long walks. Every summer she visited Bettystown taking her children, grandchildren and on some occasions her neighbours children as well. When Ann’s family had grown up she started going to Bingo and loved getting away on foreign holidays. She visited Lourdes, Medjegorie, Spain and Gran Canaria.
Ann was a kind, quietly spoken person who throughout her life showed a lot of courage and dignity which was evident through her illness. Having 17 children she had the respect of everyone who knew her, she was regarded as a caring, devoted and loving mother and she will be greatly missed by her large family and friends.
