As we are all aware, every St Patrick's girl is special. 😉 Today I am posting about an extra special St Patrick's girl, Helen Gushue Mallard.
Helen Gushue is a second generation St Patrick's Girl. Her late mother, Molly Flynn Gushue, also attended St Patrick's Convent Schools.
Helen married Tom Mallard and together they raised a beautiful family of eight daughters and five sons. Helen sent her eight girls to St Patrick's. Her daughters were being educated at the best girls' school so, of course, her sons had to be enrolled at the best boys' school, Holy Cross!
The Mallards are a very talented family. They have been blessed with good singing voices and the ability to play many musical instruments. The girls all sang in classroom choirs and several, including Liz, Louie, Cathy and Brenda, sang in Sr Brendan's award winning Glee Clubs.
Helen was born to Bill and Molly Flynn Gushue on 24th October 1928. This year Helen celebrated her 96th Birthday. Helen's daughter, Mary Lou (Louie) Tucker, sent a couple of pictures of Helen and her girls.

Thanks Louie for sharing such a wonderful occasion. It is a delight to see your dear mother and her daughters. Helen, you really are an extra special lady. May God bless you and keep you safe.
Happiest of birthdays Helen from another St. Patrick's girl, Enid (Stanford) OBrien.
