Hello I’m Kathleen’s younger sister I stopped Irish dancing at 6 years old because I was scared of the edge of the stage I was sure I would fall off while dancing .Kathleen used to say don’t be scared Mae just look out at the audience
It was no good I couldn’t overcome it .Kathleen was a brave and wonderful sister she just got on and did what ever she wanted to .do She raised her children to believe In themselves too . I was with her the night she met her wonderful husband Danny McAleer who knew then, they would go on to marry and emigrate to Australia the rest is history The McAleer School of dancing. I could never imagine .my life without Kathleen in it she was my defender my hero my example if I needed to know anything I asked Kathleen In 2004 I lost my son 19 years old in a drowning in Thailand , Kathleen got on a plane and came to support us all I love you my darling sister Thankyou for being so protective to all your family and for building the family tree goodbye Kathleen see you in heaven
Dear Mae what a gift you were to one another. Blessings on you and may all those cherished memories come back and fill your heart. Kathleen and Danny ( my cousin his Fad Joseph was my Uncle. I worked for Uncle Joe in his shop in Glasgow when I was 13yrs old. Danny and Kathleen came to visit me in Toronto Canada about 10 years ago. It was an amazing visit and i will cherish that visit forever.

To the McAleer family, thank you for sharing your Mums funeral online, for those of us who could not attend. Such a lovely service,in memory of a very special lady to many people. The Irish Dancing family of Australia, have lost a very special person. I have such fond, wonderful & loving memories of your Mum & the Irish Dancing School she set up here locally, & will always recall her generosity when Meghan danced with your school at the competition in Tasmania, some years ago.
My deepest sympathies to you all on the loss of Kathleen. It will be my honour to carry my beautiful memories of her with me forever. On behalf of myself & the McDevitt family, love to you all. xxxx
Thank you for all your support and care for my mother in the lead up to and on the day of her service. It was beautiful and reflected my mums character and spirit so much. We will cherish that day forever. From Brian (Kathleen’s son).
What a beautiful send off for such an amazing lady. We had the pleasure of meeting Kathleen in 2012 when Jaimie-Lee and Abigael joined McAleer Irish dance. Kathleen was always up for a chat and share a story with a smile.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Danny, Fiona and the rest of the family whilst you navigate through what is ahead.
Life will be different without Kathleen, but please take comfort in knowing she’s at peace and always with you in everything you do.
Rest easy Kathleen.
