HIGH STREET business woman Ann Ryan of RJ Ryan Electrical has celebrated a special birthday.
The woman who for decades has been so kind to those who may have been going through bad times was delighted that so many of her friends called to wish her well.
Saturday signalled 70 years and the daughter of Greenfields, a staunch supporter of the Kilkenny Observer celebrated with a glass or two of her favourite tipple, red vino.
The store which Anne and her brother Martin have run for years is much more than a place of business.
Family pride and huge respect for their parents and greater Ryan family spurred the duo to keep the doors open even in tough financial times.
It was little to do with trade or commerce but all about care for customers who continue to be loyal as big business dominates.
