Susan celebrates 100 years

Susan Fahy from Doolough, Mullagh, marked her 100th birthday recently. Resident at Regina House in Kilrush, Susan was joined by her only daughter, Mary Ann Montgomery, and her grandson, Brian, for her birthday.
Born on October 12, 1910, Susan was married to Michael Fahy, who died 34 years ago. They farmed for a living and Susan has been resident in Regina House for the last number of years.
Her daughter Mary Ann emigrated to the US 50 years ago. 
Speaking to The Clare Champion, with her room overflowing with birthday cards, Susan expressed surprised that she had reached the century.
“I never thought I’d get to 100,” she said, having lived through the War of Independence, the Civil War and two world wars during her century.
