She has held many positions within the association — from MC and fundraiser to organiser, social media guru, grants writer, and community correspondent. Her weekly community notes have been a valued feature, keeping everyone informed about parish events, achievements, and celebrations.

Mary’s work has greatly contributed to the ongoing success of the Granagh Community Centre, a vibrant hub for social, cultural, and local life.

Through her vision and commitment, the hall has hosted countless memorable events - concerts, fundraisers, cookery demonstrations, exhibitions, and community gatherings - each one helping to bring people together and strengthen the sense of belonging that Granagh is known for.

Thanks to the dedication of volunteers like Mary, Granagh has rightly earned a reputation far and wide as a wonderful, welcoming community, rich in spirit and full of life. Her efforts have helped ensure that community life in Granagh not only continues but flourishes — connecting generations and creating lasting memories for all who take part.

As she steps back from her role, the Granagh Development Association and the wider community wish to sincerely thank Mary for her outstanding service, guidance, and friendship over the years.

Her leadership, positivity, and unwavering commitment have made a lasting difference to the parish and to everyone who has had the pleasure of working alongside her.
