Eileen MacEvilly

 Eileen MacEvilly born and raised as a Hickey in Liscreagh in Millstreet
In the green countryside where the waterways meet
Wife of the late Vincent and survived by her son Stephen, brothers Connie and Donal and sister Finola and nieces and nephews as well
Of her travels she would have many stories to tell

An octogenarian with her husband an adventurous life she did lead
And a biography of her would make for a good read
Her travels from Liscreagh took her far away
For many years she lived in San Fransico in the U S of  A

In Aughavale Cemetery in Westport County Mayo her last remains lay
In distance far north of her first home in Liscreagh
Where she first saw light of day eighty eight years ago
But eventually time becomes everyone's foe

In the Parish of Millstreet one who did not stay
Time on all life does have the last say
May Eileen rest in peace in Westport County Mayo
Far north of where she lived many years ago.
