Peggy McNeilis: The death of Miss Peggy McNeilis, which took place at her home in Middletown, Derrybeg on Saturday, 29 August caused deep regret over a wide area.

She undertook her nursing training at Cherry Orchard in Dublin and in England, and on returning home she took up an appointment at Dungloe District Hospital and spent 32 years nursing there. Peggy was a kind and caring person, and a highly skilled nurse, who carried out her duties in a professional manner. She retired from nursing thirteen years ago.
She was a quiet, gentle woman of great faith and charity, which was reflected by the large numbers who attended the wake, funeral and Requiem Mass. Her funeral took place to Magheragallon cemetery on Monday week last following concelebrated Requiem Mass in St. Mary's Church, Derrybeg. The main celebrant of the mass was Fr. Michael Sweeney, P.P., Gaoth Dobhair and con celebrants were, An Dr. Oirmh. Pdraig Baoighill, Seiplineach Phobal Scoil Ghaoth Dobhair and Fr.
