Alice Dow lives at the gate lodge in the grounds of St. Columbanus Protestant Church, where her late husband Robert was sexton and caretaker of the Parish Hall and school grounds. Alice, nee Byrne, grew up in Clontarf, part of a family of twelve children. She began work at 14 sewing for Noel’s of Grafton Street and later worked at various employments. She was very shy of revealing the fact that in 1947 she was the deserving winner of the Dawn Beauty Competition.
