ALWAYS A ST PATRICK'S GIRL

Mary Louise McKay Hurst, RIP
I have said many times, "Once a St Patrick's Girl, always a St Patrick's Girl"   Well, I recently had an inquiry from Kelly Hurst from the USA.  Kelly is the granddaughter of Mary Louise McKAY Hurst, who attended St Patrick's in the 1930s and 1940s.  Kelly is looking for information about her grandmother and wondered if we could help.

Kelly said her grandmother always spoke fondly of her days at St Patrick's and still held dear friends from "home" and St Patrick's.

I am going to post the obituary that Kelly sent to me.  As you will know, I have never before posted an obituary on this Blog, although I do post them on our Facebook page.  I am posting this beautiful obituary because I think it proves me right when I say "Once a St Patrick's Girl, always a St Patrick's Girl".  More importantly, I am posting it in the hope that someone just might be able to help Kelly in her quest.

I hope that someone reading this post will  remember Kelly's grandmother or the family. If you knew Mary Louise or any of her relatives in Newfoundland would you please let me know?  Please would you contact me at mcallistersmith@gmail.com and I will pass on any information to Kelly.

Thanks for any help you can give and a BIG thank you to Kelly for allowing me to post her grandmother's beautiful obituary.
