Inspiring primary school teacher being remembered at Anniversary Mass

An inspirational Prosperous teacher who married her fiance in hospital just two days before she passed away aged just 29 is being remebered this week on the anniversary of her death.

Limerick native Kathy Casey Byrne was a gifted  teacher and sports coach to pupils at Scoil an Linbh Iosa, Prosperous.

However the Co Limerick native was diagnosed with cancer soon after Christmas 2017 and passed away less than three weeks later.

However, two days before her death, Kathy exchanged wedding vows with fiance Noel Byrne in a chapel at the Mater Private Hospital in Dublin.

Noel later read out an incredibly moving letter at her funeral Mass in St. Molua’s Church in Ardagh which was attended by many people from Prosperous.

A First Anniversary Mass will take place in St Molua's Church, Ardagh on Saturday at 12 noon.
