BELINDA MCNAMEE QUINN Daughter of John McNamee of Longford and Bridget Creegan of Leitrim (two homes near each other) was born at home in Clonelly on November 22, 1929, the feast of St. Cecilia and as she often mentioned on a President’s Day, a sad one for JFK and his country. She died on February 16, 2015...President’s Day. She was baptized Belinda Cecilia, for the Saint of her birthday. Belinda was generous, intelligent, dutiful, and a most sincere woman who came to the US in 1952. Met and married Tom Quinn from Sligo, and gave birth to Moira, Geraldine, and Sean. May they all be com- forted. Tom, her husband of 57 years, was in the Church when Michael Doyle, her cousin, led the Mass of Resurrection in St. Margaret’s in Pearl River, NY. She was laid to rest in St. Anthony’s in Nanuet, NY, a cemetery under a bedspread of deep snow and artic cold. Our sympathy to Tom, Moira, Geraldine, and Sean; sisters Teresa (US), Peggy, Kathleen, and brother, John (Ireland); and eleven grandchildren. Eternal rest to her! MARCH IS WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH 2015 Theme: Weaving the Stories of Women’s Lives—This year’s theme presents the opportu- nity to weave women’s stories – individually and collectively – into the essential fabric of our na- tion’s history. Accounts of the lives of individual women are critically important because they re- veal exceptionally strong role models who share a more expansive vision of what a woman can do. The stories of women’s lives, and the choices they made, encourage girls and young women to think larger and bolder, and give boys and men a fuller understanding of the female experience. Knowing women’s achievements challenges stereotypes and upends social assumptions about who women are and what women can accomplish today. 2015 is also the 35th anniversary of the Women’s History Movement and the National Women’s History Project. The 2015 National Women’s History Month Honorees are: Delilah L. Beasley (1867 - 1934), historian and newspaper columnist; Gladys Tantaquidgeon (1899 - 2005), Mohegan Medicine Woman, An- thropologist, and Tribal Elder; Eleanor Flexner (1908 - 1995), historian and independent scholar; Polly Welts Kaufman (1928 - present), writer, teacher, activist; Lynn Sherr (1943 - present), broadcast journalist and author; Judy Yung (1946 - present), oral historian, author, professor; Dar- lene Clark Hine (1947 - present), historian and educator; Holly Near (1949 - present), singer, songwriter, social activist; and Vicki L. Ruiz (1955 - present), educator and pioneer in Latina History. Please read more about these outstanding women and their work. THREE SPECIAL BIRTHDAYS THIS WEEK!
