The devastation of divorce after 25 years married did not hold Nan back. A wonderful parent to seven children, with four still to be educated, she returned to hospitality.

Taking her flair for entertaining, her renowned generosity, kindness and love of people, she packed up the family home and became the licensee of a hotel, successfully running it until her health deteriorated. Nan had learnt many lessons from her own beloved mother, who raised Nan and her six siblings through some very dark, difficult times.

The support Nan received from strong female influences in her life, her sisters, loving mother-in-law and friends, helped contribute to her success as a business woman.
Resettling, Nan continued with her “open door, open heart” mantra embracing anyone who needed help, food or a kind word, even extending to her former husband, helping him back from the effects of severe stroke. Written by Marie Kelly-Moran.
