Beth’s paternal grandparents Patrick Joseph and Mary Rose McNally travelled from Massachusetts to Ireland for their anniversary in May 1954, on board the T.S.S. Olympia. They arrived in Cobh and travelled on to Northern Ireland to visit family. Sadly, they would never return home to America. Mary Rose was in a tragic accident in July 1954 and died. One month later, Patrick Joseph died from a heart attack.
