Mary DALTON (caution: not verified) was born about 1810 in probably Athea, Co. Limerick. She died in probably Kilbaha, Newtownsandes (Moyvane), Co. Kerry.
It is believed that Mary was from the Athea area. Perhaps she was from the same townland as her husband, Patrick, which was Dirreen Lower. If this was in fact the case, then here is a little information acquired on a Dalton family from Dirreen. It is possible that Mary may have been connected to this family:

STORIES: We have partnered with The Heritage Council and the Heritage Officer Programme, Waterways Ireland and Inland Fisheries Ireland to look for stories about people’s favourite waterbody or interesting stories from someone you know..

Spirituality is often a very important coping mechanism when dealing with difficult circumstances or major changes in life, such as moving from independence to dependent care or facing death [2,3]. It is often a core part of the older person’s identity and as a result many residential settings for older people support clients’ spiritual needs [2]. There are currently more than 20,000 people living in residential nursing home care in Ireland, within more than 450 nursing homes providing care.

TRIBUTE to Anne Prendiville from Moyvane Church Newsletter
Anne, A Teacher With A Difference
People die in character in much the same way they have lived. This is totally true in the case of much loved and respected Anne Prendiville who died Wednesday 13 may 2020, surrounded by Finbar, Robert, Emer and extended family. Having no sooner gotten our heads and hearts around the news of her serious illness, now we are shocked and numbed by her quick death. Having taught in Murhur N.S. for close on 33 years, Anne shared a great legacy in the fact that some of her pupils ended up sending their children to be taught by her.
A great teacher who never left anything to chance and looked out for those pupils who needed that extra bit of care. Her faith and the beautiful way she practised it was a joy to behold. Anne and Finbar were a great team and Robert and Emer are testimony to that. I have invited former work colleagues Gabriel Fitzmaurice, Mary B. Curtin and a parent Carmel O’Connor who was taught by Anne and her children were taught by her too to pin a few lines in appreciation, which they gladly accepted.
Gabriel reflects………
Anne Prendiville joined the staff of Murhur National School, Moyvane, in 1982 having previously taught in Clondalkin in Dublin city. Initially she taught the senior classes but eventually she moved to her beloved infant room where she proved to be an inspired and dedicated educator. Never boastful, she took great pride in her pupils for whom she wanted the very best. She had the pleasure of teaching her two children, Robert and Emer, during her long years of service in the school. A fine teacher, a loyal colleague and friend, she loved to engage with her pupils who held her in high affection and esteem. A highlight of the school year was the annual Christmas pageant she produced with her infant classes where her highly developed sense of drama and deep religious conviction was evident in the commitment and passion of the young actors. Anne retired in December 2015 after a lifetime of service to the school and to the community. In her private life she loved to read. Indeed she was an avid book collector whose library was a veritable repository of first editions that included a comprehensive collection of books by the writers of North Kerry. She was also a connoisseur of antiques and wooden artifacts of which she had a large collection from many countries. She had a great interest in all things religious and since her retirement visited the Holy Land on three occasions, the last being at Christmas 2019. A lifelong learner she continued her interest particularly in history after she retired. Anne was a proud woman – proud of her family, proud of her school, proud of her parish. It was always a pleasure to be in her company. There was nothing she loved more than to be at home with her family in Carrueragh. Her death leaves them, and us, under a great pall of sadness. But, woman of faith that she was, we know that she is looking down on us from the heaven that is her reward. Our deepest sympathy goes to Finbar, Robert and Emer, her daughter-inlaw Mairéad and loved grandson Finn and loving sister Ena and extended family who are in our thoughts and prayers at this most difficult time. Solas na bhFlaitheas dá hanam uasal.
Mary B reflects……
Our school community has been hit with such sadness as we have learned of the passing of our former colleague and teacher Anne Prendiville. Anne was a wonderful teacher who nurtured all the children who she taught. She had such a love for every child under her care. She was a mother-figure to them all. Her knowledge was immense and that shone through in the children that left her classroom. She had a love of nature and her nature walks to the wood were definitely a great source of knowledge. She had such a green finger and enjoyed planting seeds and flowers with the children. Anne also was a dear colleague and great friend to the staff of our school. We all have fond memories of our time together. It was a pleasure for some of our staff to have been taught by Anne in their primary school days and to teach with her also in Murhur N.S. She would tell you about the history of Moyvane in a heartbeat and if you needed to know about ancestry she was the person to go to. We keep her in our prayers today. Our heartfelt sympathies we send to her loving family who she treasured so much, her husband Finbar, son Robert and daughter Emer, her daughter in law Mairéad, adored grandson Finn, her sister Ena and family. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a hanam dílis
——————————
Carmel Reflects……
There are lots of very fond memories of Anne in our home. Along with teaching my boys, Patrick and Donnacha, she also taught me in her early years at Murhur NS. For Anne, teaching was not a job, she was devoted to her role and to her children. I had always considered Anne a great teacher but for me, once I became a mother, I really appreciated her real talent for the role… She knew how to get the balance right…. she loved and cared for her children / students like a mother but there were very clear boundaries where we all knew not to cross! Anne taught both my boys in junior and senior infants and as a mother, those early days of school are always filled with trepidation. I never once left the school concerned or anxious, always in the knowledge that my children were in the safest and best of hands (in every way) with Anne. I will be eternally grateful to her. Ar Dheis De go raibh a hanam. Carmel O’Connor, Murhur.

The Eucharistic Procession is organised by the people of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Cork every year to celebrate the feast of Corpus Christi, the “ Body of Christ ”. On either the last Sunday of May or the first one of June, the Saviour’s body in the form of the Eucharistic Host is carried through the streets of Cork at the head of a procession that is both solemn and joyous. The event has taken place every year since 1926,

FATIMA: No shrine, save for those in the Holy Land, is more linked with the churnings of history than that of Our Lady of Fatima. The “short 20th century” is usually dated from the October Revolution of 1917, which brought the Bolsheviks to power in Moscow. It concluded with the dissolution of the Soviet Union on Christmas Day 1991. One might then see in the 1917 apparitions at Fatima, Portugal, a preparation for the bloodiest of centuries. And the link between Fatima and Pope St. John Paul II is historical, too, for no figure in history was more consequential to the peaceful end of the totalitarian century than the Polish pope.
