One of Ebbie's memorable moments was in a car park in Monaghan. Trying to park her battered, dog eaten Austin Mini Metro into a space that was not big enough, she decided that the only way to achieve this desired manoeuvre was to hit the cars to her left, right, rear and front. The two Jack Russell Terriers that were perched on the rear window shelf braced themselves. She parked the car exclaiming, "Sure it was just a kiss." The two Jack Russell Terriers that were perched on the rear window shelf relaxed.

Greatly missed and often remembered.

The photos on the left were taken, Christmas 1965, at their home in Monaghan.
