Poetic Obituaries: Mary [Alyce O'Hern Rhode]'s Irish wit and hardy

laughter will be greatly missed by all of her family and many friends. She leaves you with one last poem: "Read this poem to learn about me, for writing was my specialty. Books brought me hours of pleasure; mysteries were my treasure. Cards were great, lose or win, be it poker, bridge or gin. I loved to travel, abroad and here; it led to new adventures each year. I kissed the Blarney Stone at last, a sweet memory of my past. Volunteering I liked to do, to help others make it through." By Mary Alyce O'Hern Rhode.
