It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Ann (Mitzie) Corscadden, (née Ahern), Cabra Castle, Kingscourt, Co. Cavan, who passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family.

As we reflect on our loss and celebrate her life, we are reminded of her passion for life, her inspiring vision, and her love for her family. Mitzie attended Shannon College of Hotel Management in 1953, where she embarked on a journey that would shape her future and leave an indelible mark on the hospitality industry, a Shannon Graduate to the end. She will be remembered not only for her remarkable achievements as a businesswoman and hotelier but also for her compassion and kindness as a wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and lifelong friend to many.

Mitzie touched the lives of everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. Her unwavering dedication to excellence in hospitality created a lasting impression on guests and employees alike, leaving a legacy that will endure for many years to come. She remained grounded in her philosophy of hospitality—simple yet profound: "Just be nice to people." Her genuine warmth and infectious smile left a mark on all who crossed her path, embodying the essence of true hospitality.

She will be deeply missed by her family. She was predeceased by her beloved husband Patrick, ‘Pappy’. Deeply missed by her children Patricia, Howard, Marnie, Adam, and Patrick; her sons-in-law Les McCabe and Rory O’Sullivan, and daughters-in-law Deirdre, Therese and Ciara; her adored grandchildren and great-grandchildren; her brother Neily Ahern and sister Josie O’ Callaghan, her extended family, former colleagues, and a wide circle of friends both at home and abroad.

Reposing at The Granary in Cabra Castle on Wednesday, 24th July, from 4pm to 7pm. Funeral Mass in the Church of the Immaculate Conception, Kingscourt on Thursday 25th July at 10.00am with burial afterwards in Kingscourt Cemetery.

I started in October 2021 so about 2 and half years. I work in the The Courtroom Restaurant with the food and beverage team.

𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑑𝑎𝑦-𝑡𝑜-𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑗𝑜𝑏𝑠?
Serving breakfast to our guests and sometimes I serve our afternoon tea experience. I set the restaurant for lunch, dinner or afternoon tea depending on the business for the day. Some days I also help with the setup for the pre dinner drinks reception and the ballroom for a wedding. If the bar gets busy I will pop down to help there also. Before I finish I will ensure the breakfast areas is stocked up for the following morning and we polish the cutlery. Every day is different it depends on the business.

𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑑𝑜 𝑦𝑜𝑢 𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒 𝑚𝑜𝑠𝑡 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑗𝑜𝑏?
Meeting the customers and chatting to them. The variety of each day as every day is different.

𝑊ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑠 𝑦𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑓𝑎𝑣𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑖𝑡𝑒 𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑚/𝑙𝑜𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑙𝑒 𝑜𝑟 𝑜𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑔𝑟𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑𝑠?
I really like the Gold Room. It is so elegant, warm and comfortable.

I would have to say Eilish as she has taught me so much since I joined the team at Cabra Castle.
