Over a lifetime maybe once or twice you might encounter someone special, someone with fine qualities, who can tune in on your wavelength, listen and can say much in very few words. Those of us were involved with Rose saw she was such a person. 

Rose Tiernan, hailed from Croghan, Boyle,  Co. Roscommon and was the 3rd eldest in a family of seven. She came to work in Benny Wogan’s from 1965 to 1977. She lived in Dunleer Post Office  for her first ten years and was a real novelty in a houseful of boys. Soon she had them picking up their football kits and clearing up after meals, a job their mother had failed to succeed in over many years. Long before walking became fashionable, Rose was out daily treading the roads. In 1978 Dermot Smyth from Dromin and together they re-shaped a small cottage in Mooremount into a modern bungalow. She became involved in Dunleer Credit Union, something she really enjoyed. It was Rose who first brought the Credit Union to Dromin School.  As their three girls Adeline, Claire and Eleanor grew, they were encouraged to become members of the athletic club and Rose was there in all weathers to be part of the highs and lows of cross country running.
