Our sincere condolences and sympathy to the Gallagher family on your great loss. It was with genuine sadness we heard of the sudden passing of Winifred ( Winnie ). It can honestly be said that Mrs. Winifred Gallagher was truly a great woman. A wife, mother and grandmother. A farmer and a farmers wife she met each day of her long and productive life head on, with always a positive outlook, enthusiasm, wonderful work ethic, quite strength and resilience when strength and resilience was needed, a kind generous heart and a warm kindly nature. She will be sadly missed by all of you her family, and everyone who were privileged to know her. May she Rest In Peace.
