Canadian Tragedy has Borrisoleigh Connections


Darrin and Jennifer Waugh and Darrin’s brother in law Roddy Allan.
  

Thursday 30th December in Calgary, Canada brought great grief to a family with strong Borrisoleigh connections. Whilst returning from a day spent snow shoeing (a popular canadian sport), 4 people were involved in a car accident when their 4 x 4 vehicle skidded, slid down an embankment and into a freezing lake. Darrin Waugh and his wife Jennifer, both aged 39 died in the tragedy. Darrins sister, Jaime 33, the mother of 2 young boys, was saved from the vehicle by rescuers. Sadly her husband Roddy Allan, aged 42, also perished in the tragedy. Darrin and Jaime are grandchildren of former Army Captain the late Jim Shanahan from Borrisoleigh who emigrated to Canada in the 1960`s.
In 2001 Darrin and Jennifer held their wedding ceremony and reception in the Clodagh Bar, Borrisoleigh which was then owned by their cousin the late Harry Groome. Their last visit here was in 2009.
All of the large Shanahan family and their decendents in Canada heve kept a close affinity with Jim Shanahans birth place and with their cousins in Ireland. Indeed Jamie and Trevor Groome, Phyllis Mockler and Michael Kinane travelled to Calgary to attend the funeral services.
As a mark of respect, a special Mass will be held in the Sacred Heart Church, Borrisoleigh on Saturday next 29th January, at 10.30 am to commemorate the lives of Darrin, Jennifer, and Roddy and to pray for the continued recovery of Jaime.
To the Shanahan, Waugh, Rimmner and Allan Families, we extend our deepest sympathies.
