Francis Mooney
It is with sincere regret that the Border Fancy and Fauldhouse Border Clubs have to report the passing of Francis Mooney.
Francis, more commonly known as the “Tea Lady”, was the wife of the well-known Dark Man Tom Mooney. After Toms death she still kept the birds and continued to support the Clubs providing refreshments at the shows for exhibitors.
Our condolences go to her family and friends at this sad time.
