Sheila TREACY
(27 Jul 1923 - 5 Jul 2012)
The name on Sheila's certificate of baptism is 'Julia Anna Tracey' (it is Sheila Treacy on her birth certificate).
With her sister, Jo-Ann, Sheila trained as a nurse at the Withington Hospital in Manchester, both qualifying in 1944. Sheila subsequently worked in Brighton (c.1944-c.1949), Moorfields Eye Hospital in London (c.1950-c.1953), Royal Victoria Eye and Ear Hospital in Dublin (c.1953-c.1954) and the Regional Hospital in Limerick (c.1954-1958). She was a specialist in opthalmic work.
Sheila and her husband, Dick, met in 1958 in the Regional Hospital in Limerick where she was working and where Dick was visiting a patient (Ann Wall?) who may also have been a friend of Sheila's and who introduced them. They married about six months later. Sheila gave up her career upon her marriage, as many woman did in Ireland at the time.
For most of her married life Sheila lived at 9 Lisbeg, Tralee, Co. Kerry. In 1986, following Dick's death, she moved to Dublin where she lived for 26 years at 31 Lansdowne Village, Sandymount.
