Ursula Manley

Ursula Gleeson of Glounthaune came to live in Millstreet Town many years ago
As the wife of  the late Anthony Manley in the Square the man known as Mister O
To her family a good mother and to Mister O a good wife
A good woman who made many a friend in her long life

In Millstreet Town and Parish Ursula was well liked and well known
And her friends in numbers over the decades had grown
To live as a good person her claim to renown
One who will be sadly missed from Millstreet Town

In the running of the Manley drapery shop in the Town Square a leading role she did play
And Millstreet for her passing is worse off  today
Anyone who knew or knew of her never had a bad word of her to say
It was by good example in life that she led the way

One can only hope that her passing from life for her was a painless release
The last remains of Ursula Manley are now at peace
Her heart that beat with kindness is forever still
In St Mary's Cemetery in Millstreet in view of Cashman's Hill.
