SNIPPET: Per the 2007 issue of the "Leitrim Guardian" periodical, the death has taken place in her 90th year of the Honorary President and founding member of the Leitrim Association in London of Nora McGreal. Nora died peacefully on Sunday morning 11th June in the Good Hope Hospital Sutton Coalfields Birmingham in the presence of her children, grandchildren and other relations and friends. She had lived with her daughter Mary since last November and had been in hospital for the past three weeks. Born Nora McGrail in Knockacullion in the parish of Aughnasheelin in December 1916 she was reared with her aunt Margaret McGourty and family in Stradrina Ballinagleara as her mother the late Brigid McGrail died shortly after Nora's birth. She immigrated to Scotland in 1937 and the following year joined her sister the late Maggie Boyle in Maidstone Kent where they both worked as psychiatric nurses. She married Francie McGreal of Slievnakilla Ballinagleara in London in 1945. Her late husband who played football with Ballinagleara, Drumkeran and Fenagh Leitrim and Tara's London died in 1973. Nora and her husband and Michael Mulvanerty and others founded the Leitrim Association in 1952. Her daughter Mary was also Secretary of the association. Among the many Leitrim friends who were in the association with them were Eamon Sheridan and Jim McGarry. She later became involved with the North Leitrim/West Cavan Association. Her house at Blanford Road in Chiswick London was open to all visitors and it became a stop over place for the many Leitrim people who visited London. Anyone from Leitrim was always welcome. Many visiting priests from Kilmore and Ardagh and Clonmacnoise Diocese stayed with her. Indeed, many had keys to her house and could come and go as they pleased. She along with Francie were also member of the Tara's Club which had as its main driving force Prinsious Redican who is still involved in GAA in London. In 2002 she was made a presentation by the Leitrim Association for the life-long commitment to the Leitrim association in London. She is the last of the McGrail family from Knockacullion who all had a passionate interest in Irish Traditional Music and dancing to die. Her funeral arrangement will be made later in the week and will take place in Ballinagleara Church where she will be buried beside her late husband Francie in Fahy graveyard. She is survived by her son John, London, Mary, Birmingham, grandchildren Marianne, Laura, Kevin and Sinead, her nephews, Francie Joe McGourty, Ballinagleara, Arthur Boyle, Keadue and nieces Bridie Reynolds, Dublin, Mary Slack, New York, and Kathleen Cornyn, Dowra, and a large circle of friends and relations.
