Special day held in Annaghmore shop to thank long-serving Post Office manager

Popular Post Office manager Margaret Willis is taking a well earned rest after 46 years at the helm of Annaghmore Post Office.

Her husband Thomas Willis purchased the shop in 1980 and has operated a very successful Spar Supermarket ever since with wife Margaret as Post Office manager.

Margaret received a gift and certificate on her retirement from the Post Office for her faithful service. Her son Andrew and his wife Gillian now manage the Post Office and the shop.
