Kitty, a lifelong GAA fan, is overjoyed to have her grandson Finnbarr Roarty on the Donegal team, especially ahead of the All-Ireland final against Kerry. Living in Glenties, she has decorated her home in county colors and prepared for the match spiritually with candles and rosary beads. Her family shares the excitement, remarking that her longevity and Finnbarr's achievement on the team make this a particularly magical time. Kitty's passion for GAA dates back decades, and she has followed the team avidly throughout her life.
Kitty, who will be 100 on Christmas Eve, has been a lifelong GAA fan, but having her grandson on the team has been "magical."
“She is on a high this week, and it's as good as any tonic,” her daughter, Margaret Kennedy, said. "It’s great she has seen Finnbarr on the team and it is just magical that she has lived to this age."
With my mammy turning 100 on Christmas Eve, this could be a particularly special year for her and for us all as a family.
Kitty and her late husband were always avid Donegal GAA fans, traveling throughout the county and to Clones in Co Monaghan to watch the team play.
