WILSON Mary Philomena (Mollie) Wilson died Monday, July 4, 2011 aged 83 years after a long battle with Alzheimer's. Mollie lived in New York at the time of her death. Mollie was born on May 22, 1928 in Dublin, Ireland to Joseph Lowth, a native of Townsville, Australia, and Catherine Kenny of Co. Tipperary, Ireland. She met her future husband, Daniel (Danny) Wilson, in Ballingarry, Co. Tipperary, Ireland when she was 14 years old. When introduced by her cousins, classmates of Danny's, he threw a bucket of water at her, leading Mollie's relatives to predict their future love affair.

She was a singer with the Shamrogues and an actress with the Clan na Gael players.
