Change notice background image
Helen (Eileen)CONNORIn loving memory of Helen(Eileen) Connor nee Kelly of Rutherglen. Passed away bravely, beautifully, full of love in her 93rd year and in the loving arms of her daughter Dorothy on 19 April 2010.

Dearly beloved wife of the late John Patrick (Jack) Connor and precious mum of the late John Douglas and of Dorothy Ellen.

Mascot Rutherglen Ladies FC, World Champions 1923, Lady-in-Waiting to the Lanimar Queen 1927, Auxiliary Fire Service Rutherglen, Second World War and Home Town Tales -Stories of Rutherglen Life 2005.

The bravest, kindest, most caring and compassionate woman it would ever have been your privilege to know. A real Ruglonian who loved her family, her town and its people. A bonny fechter, a "darling bud of May", a real Rutherglen rose and a true flower of Scotland.

"Soul by soul and silently, Her shining bounds increase Her ways are ways of gentleness And all her paths are peace."

Safely held in angels' wings. Until we meet again, love always Dorothyxx

Thank you for the white feather today- you didn't forget-and for the wee bird and I woke up with your favourite song Pennies From Heaven playing in my head!

Love you lots and lots, dots and spots. Always and forever. Dorothyxx
