705
And given Minella’s age, her grasp of technology was phenomenal.

Happy days…
s can be seen by the outpouring of fond memories below that greeted the news that the lady had
passed on Tuesday, August 23rd, Minella Seery touched a lot of lives in Greystones.
From her days as a teacher in St David’s to her yoga classes, founding the Greystones Bridge Club, working in the Credit Union, her Delgany I.C.A. days and beyond, the bould Minella seemed to be always busy.

Marking the 45th anniversary in 2019
And she was always smiling too, whether it was launching the good ship Roche’s chemist up in Blacklion by being its first-ever customer on January 8th 1974 to confiscating rubber rats left in her teacher’s desk by Charlie Roche’s most wayward son, Paul, not long after.
Of course, the biggest impact of the lady’s passing is for her children, including daughters Íta and Gráinne and sons Hugh, Conall and Garrett. They had already lost their father, Séamas, and more recently, their sister, Dympna.

Minella & Séamas’ big day
And so, we’ve asked the family to put together a few words on their remarkable mum…
Originally from Athy, Minella lived as an active member of the Greystones community for 58 years and will be remembered by many as a school teacher in Silver Stream, Greystones and Trudder House in Newtownmountkennedy.
Others will remember her as a yoga teacher, a fundraiser for Unicef, the treasurer of Greystones Operatic and Dramatic Society, or for her time working at the Credit Union.

Her iPhone, iPad and Kindle were never far away, whilst here Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest and Freecell accounts were constantly active. She always preferred FaceTime over a phonecall too.

That is such sad news. I remember Mrs Seery teaching me in Silverstream and putting a rubber rat in her desk! We laughed about it years later. We probably tortured her. I loved the fact that she would comment regularly on Facebook; even a couple of months ago she sent a message. To all the family, your Mum impacted the lives of so many people in Greystones and we all feel a loss, although it is nothing compared to yours. My thoughts are with you all. God Bless and Rest in Peace.
Paula Gilbert
