On Saturday November 27 - 50 years to the day - the Woodlawn couple were joined in celebration by their six children Padraig, Máire, Diarmuid, Áine, and twins Aoife and Eilís, six grandchildren Diarmuid, Leila, Éanna, Cónal, Laurence and Aoibhe, and son and daughters-in-law Robbie, Linda and Claire, at the Killarney Oaks Hotel.
Jerry is originally from Coolavokig in Cork and Bridie from Ballyheigue. They married in Bridie's home parish in St Mray's Church on November 27, 1971. The couple settled in Woodlawn where they reared their children. Jerry is a retired Garda Sergeant who served in Glenbeigh, Killarney and Tralee, and Bridie is a retired national school teacher and worked in St Oliver's for most of her career.
On their 50th wedding anniversary Jerry and Bridie were blessed during a special Mass said by Fr Kieran O'Brien, a cousin of Bridie's, in the chapel in the Church of the Resurrection.
"We then went to the Oaks for a lovely family meal," her daughter Eilís told the Killarney Advertiser.
