Mary (molly) Rooney 1926-2008

[Joe Rooney]

This is for those friends and family of Molly who still keep in touch with Bedlington.

Molly was born at 6 Craggs Buildings, Bank top in August 1926.

She attended St Bedes school, and after leaving at 14, worked for several years in Leicester for several years.

!n 1949, she immigrated to Ontario Canada. There she met, and later married Gordon Perrott.

After 6 children, thirteen Grandchildren, and 4 Great-grandchildren, Gordon died some years ago.

Molly always loved travel, and frequently visited Bedlington where she kept many old friends.

On her retirement as a bank manager, at age 65, Molly retired to the beautiful little town of Teeswater, Ontario, where she lived in a small cottage built especially for her by her children.

Some weeks ago, on the advice of her specialist she moved into a senior citizens home in Wingham, Ontario, another small town nearby.

On Wednesday, she suffered a stroke, and was hospitalised.

Our oldest daughter, Pat called us this morning from Ontario to tell us that Molly had died at about 10.30 last night.

She went quickly and quietly, which I would say is about the way she lived her life.

She was 82, and we will miss her, but she lived well, long and productively. And doubt that she had any regrets.

My wife Linda and I are flying to Toronto tomorrow,. We will be there for the rest of the week.

She had a lot of family, and a lot of friends, so I think we will have to hear a lot of the old stories about Mary (Molly) Rooney. I am sure that her old Bedlington and Cowpen friends wil already know that she has gone, but for those few who havent, this is my last lament for my beloved sister Molly.

Agnus Dei, Qui tolis peccata Mundi, Dona Nobis Pacem.

Thank you for the calls which started coming in this morning.
