Daughter of Cornelius OSHEA and Agnes Mary nee McKEE
Of Waterville, Jackson St., Sunbury, Vic.
Did not marry
Miss O'Shea, whose death took place at "Somerset House" on January 5, was the eldest daughter of Mr. C.O'Shea, "Waterville," Sunbury. Sister O'Shea was one of the first Melbourne nurses to offer her services in the Great War. After serving at the Base Hospital, Melbourne, she went abroad in 1917 with Matron Curnived, returning in 1919. For several years Sister O'Shea was on the staff of the Melbourne Eye and Ear Hospital. One of the original members of the Melbourne Army Nurses' Club, her gentle, dignified presence will be sadly missed by her club associates. The funeral took place, privately, on January 6, at Sunbury, after Mass at St. Mary's Church. Rev. J.
MacCarthy, P.P. conducted the burial service. R.I.P.
