Frances Haskins, (63), tested positive for Covid-19 on a Wednesday and passed away at her home in Newbridge, Co Kildare, the following Monday February 1, 2021. And after the first anniversary of her death came and went last month, her grieving daughter Carolann ‘Carrie’ Haskins was dealt another tragic blow when her beloved father and fellow musician Johnny Haskins (76), died from cancer on February 12. The well-known singer, bass player and showband performer also contracted the deadly virus but survived it before he succumbed to cancer. And while it’s been a horrific year for Ms Haskins, (32), a country music singer-songwriter from Athy, she is grateful that at least her mother got to meet her newborn daughter Charlotte who was just three weeks old when Frances died. She is also planning to release a new song called “Love Will Never Die” to honour the memory of her parents.
