Teresa Tangney

From Kerry to Millstreet Town on her journey in life Where to the draper and Gaelic footballer John Joe Tangney she became the wife And raised her sons and daughters the parents of today The past and present linked to the future in life it is this way In her community work and teaching she became loved and widely known The seeds that grow to the fruits of friendship everyday by her were sown One who done a lot of good things in her lifetime span Teresa was a nice person and lived as a good woman Many years have passed since Teresa came to live in Millstreet though it seem only like yesterday Time does not wait on anyone it does tick and tick away In life for everyone of us there is a last farewell To us a reminder of our mortality on the tolling of the funeral bell Her last remains are in Drishane near where she lived and was growing old But her spirit is in Kerry with the famous green and gold.
