Look Up request - Delia Gildea St Hugh's Graveyard Ballinagleragh

[jamesjg]

I believe that Delia GILDEA is buried in St. Hugh's Graveyard, Ballinagleragh (apologies if the spelling is incorrect), Leitrim with her husband Michael GILDEA.  I believe that her death was in 1989 at Sligo General Hospital.  Delia was born Bridget WYNNE in 1906 and her memorial (if there is one) may show either Delia or Bridget as her name, but she was known as Delia.  Is anyone able to provide me with her actual date of death or a photograph of the grave?  I have looked at find a grave but there are no memorials recorded.

She died late January or early February 1989, going on mentions in local papers. Looking for an actual death notice now.

The funeral was Monday 30th January.

**edit. She died January 28th, 1989. The death notice is in the 'Sunday Independent' of the 29th January. She is referred to as Delia in the death notice. A small obituary appears in the 'Anglo-Celt' of February 9th.
