Later Life and Death

[edit]

In Millicent Grace Mann's (nee Girling) ultimate showcase at the Royal Hibernian Academy in Dublin, she unveiled an evocative illustration for 'The Pink Frock', a poem penned by Thomas Hardy.[1] Regrettably, the publication of this artistic contribution remains elusive. Following this exhibition, Millicent Grace Mann embarked on a journey to England, where she dedicated a few years of her life teaching art at Spalding Girls School in Lincolnshire.[1] Near the end of her life, Millicent Grace Mann found solace in the serene surroundings of Glebe House, Mill End, nestled in the Northleach region of Gloucestershire,[2] a long way from where she grew up in Ballintaggart, Co. Armagh, Ireland.[3] It was here that, during her final months, she peacefully departed from this world on the 2nd of November, 1993.[4] At the time of her passing, Millicent Grace Mann was a widow, having just lost her husband, Keith Cranston Mann, in March of 1972.[5] She would have spent 24 years without her husband. She lived a long life, passing away at the age of 93. Keith Cranston Mann, an accomplished engineer,[6][7] took his last breath in the Cirencester region of Gloucester, a mere 20 minutes away from the comforting abode that his wife, Millicent, called home in Northleach. He was only 69 years old when he passed away. He also passed away far from where he grew up in Palmerston Gardens, Rathmines in Dublin, Ireland. It is unknown where Millicent Mann (nee Girling) and Keith Cranston Mann are now buried, due to the immense lack of information surrounding both of their deaths. There is also no obituaries to be found regarding both Millicent Grace Mann, nor her husband Keith Cranston Mann.
