Noreen Barrett O' Brien

 She will never again see the greyness of dawn

Lighting the dark sky above Lackabawn

Deceased in her late fifties or early sixties she was not that old

But surely her story deserves to be told

Perhaps Noreen Barrett O' Brien the mother of four was one born to die young

But surely her praises deserve to be sung

A down to earth and attractive looking person she was free of guile

One who never did find it that hard for to smile

In Aubane she first looked on the light of day

And in St Mary's in Millstreet her last remains lay

One who had made many friends over the years

Her passing from life would not have gone without tears

Though this is going back many Seasons in time

In Melbourne she lived for awhile in her physical prime

And worked for a term in the Normandy Hotel

Of her adventures in life she would have had good stories to tell

Though the deceased for them never hear the funeral bell

For all of us from life a final farewell

Hope her parting from life for her was a painless release

Noreen Barrett O' Brien may she now rest in peace.
