Episode Details

Catherine Conway, a Galway fixture for over 60 years, turned 103 with grace, humor, and a garden full of life — and love. Born in 1923, she’s a great-grandmother to 12, grandmother to 10, and mother of three, crediting her longevity to hard work, faith, and her obsession with gardening (which her son jokes she still “directs”). Celebrating early with a surprise cake from Belfast, she’s seen it all — from Knock airport’s rise to tech’s dizzying speed — yet still finds joy in family, secrets kept, and short video messages from her loved ones. After losing her husband Thomas and a child in 2024, she still sees each day as a gift, preferring simplicity over clutter. Her birthday was sweet: a trip to Mulranny, a meal at Nevin’s, a home massage, and plants — but what truly moved her? The love in her family’s voices, captured on screen.
