The death has occurred of one of Donegal’s most respected and well-known hospitality figures, Bridget Ewing (née Scanlon).
Late of Curragh, Killygordon, Mrs Ewing was the former manager of Kee’s Hotel in Stranorlar, where she spent more than four decades shaping its reputation as one of the premier hotels in the northwest. She began her career there as a kitchen assistant at just 14 years of age, steadily rising through the ranks to eventually take on the role of manager.
Her dedication, professionalism, and warm personality made her a beloved figure among both staff and guests. Bridget retired in the early 2000s, leaving behind a legacy of excellence and kindness that continues to be fondly remembered.
