Anne Tunney, née Bacon, who died on January 10th, was the living demonstration of the power of positivity regardless of what trails, tribulation and challenges life threw at her during her 95 years on this earth. She married Dick Tunney, who served as an army captain in Burma in the second World War. Anne’s father’s wedding present to her was life membership of Milltown Gold Club, which she certainly made full use of. She was highly respected, frequently consulted on many topics and for years a significant voice in Irish golf. Anne was lady captain of Milltown golf club in 1965 and was on the Senior Cup-winning team.
