Bailieborough News Thursday August 27th 2015.
/in News /by PetraBailieborough News. August 27th 2015. Matthew J. Cullen.
Mr. Michael McKenna:
It was with great sadness and regret that the community learned of the death of very popular local man, Mr Michael McKenna, 13 Tandragee, Bailieborough at his residence on Monday, August 10th, following a short illness.
Born on the 19th of August 1944, Michael was originally a native of Kingscourt. In his younger days, he attended Kingscourt National School. After leaving school, Michael worked on a local farm and then worked for a local haulier doing the Milk run. In 1963, Michael commenced work in Gypsum Industries and he worked there for the next 42 years until he retired in 2005.
Michael met his future wife—Una Reilly, Killinkere—in 1967 and they married in 1971—in fact they would have celebrated their 44th Wedding Anniversary on August 11th. In the early years of their marriage, Michael and Una lived in Killinkere and they moved into Tandragee in Bailieborough in 1973. In their married life, Michael and Una had seven children and theirs was a happy and cheerful household. In his spare time, Michael was passionate about cars and he took great pride in their upkeep and appearance. He was also a noted gardener and kept his gardens in pristine condition.
Michael was a man of very deep faith and he was one of the co-ordinators of the Holy Hour Adoration in St. Annes. He partook in many pilgrimages to Lourdes, Medjugorje, Fatima, Knock and Lough Derg. He was the only male member of the local Legion of Mary and he regularly visited and prayed for those who were ill in the community and he was also a familiar face to the residents of the nearby, Fairlawns Nursing home. Michael was a genuine, gentle, family orientated and quiet man whose presence in the community will be deeply missed.
Predeceased by his daughters, Majella and Bernadette, Michael is survived by his loving wife, Una, son, Michael (Bailieborough), daughters: Mrs Siobhan Donohoe (Tunnyduff), Mrs Helena O’Grady (Bailieborough), Trina (do) and Amanda (do), sons in-law, grandchildren: Michael, Rebecca, Cian, Odhran, Aine, Dylan and Kyle, to whom deepest sympathy is extended.
Michael was predeceased by his sister, Mrs Angela Johnston (RIP) (Kingscourt) and is survived by his brothers: Sean (Kingscourt), Kevin (Belturbet) and Noel (Kingscourt), sisters: Mary (Kingscourt), Mrs Rita Clarke (Muff), Mrs Lily Shankey (Nobber), Mrs Bernie Farrelly (Ardlow, Virginia) and Mrs Barbara O’Reilly (Ardee), brothers in-law, sisters in-law, nephews, nieces, relatives and a wide circle of friends.
A very large attendance was present at the removal of Michael’s remains from his residence to St. Anne’s Chapel on Wednesday evening, August 12th and following Requiem Mass in St. Annes on Thursday morning, August 13th—at which Fr. Michael Router P.P. officiated assisted by the Bailieborough Folk Choir—his remains were laid to rest in St. Anne’s Cemetery.
