Maggie Maguire, who turned 106 on Good Friday, with great grandchildren Isabella, Grace and Nessa
Maggie Maguire of Keelogs, Inver, turned 106 on Good Friday and was joined by her family to share the celebrations on the day.
Born in Lignaul on April 7 1917, Maggie went to school in Legan and spent her young days sprigging and later mending tweed at home for Magee's of Donegal town.
She met and married her late husband, Michael, on April 24, 1947 and they spent 65 years of a happy married life in Keelogs, where they set up home and raised a family of four. As for the secret of a long life, Maggie says she lived a quiet, plain and simple life, didn’t smoke or drink but loved her bingo, doing the grocery shopping in Mountcharles and going to her local church to pray.
