Killarney

By Michelle Crean 
<h3>It was a golden celebration for Killarney couple Jim and Sheila Morris on Saturday as they reached a very special milestone.</h3>
Close family and a few friends, including their wedding photographer Sean Kelly marked their 50th wedding anniversary in style at the couple&#8217;s home in Pinewood Estate.
 Due to the COVID restrictions, the couple, who married in Muckross Church on November 20 1971 followed by a reception in the Lake Hotel, decided on a small gathering at the weekend with their nearest and dearest at home. 
 Jim is originally from Glencar while Sheila is from Rathmore. Jim moved to Cork in 1965 for work with CIE. He then moved back to Kerry in 1973 and worked on the Expressway bus from Tralee to Cork and estimates that during his 43 years with the company he checked in two and a half million passengers over three and a half million miles!
 It was during his time with CIE that he met Sheila who was working in the Killarney Railway/Bus Station.
 They built a house in Pinewood and over the years had five children, Anthony, Mary, Sinead, Sheila and Jim Jr. 
 &#8220;We had our family and friends in for a small gathering on Saturday,&#8221; Jim told the Killarney Advertiser.
 &#8220;Seanie [Kelly], our neighbour, was our wedding photographer. He&#8217;s a top photographer. I know him and Mary 50 years.&#8221;
 And Jim revealed the secret to a long and happy marriage.
 &#8220;You have ups and downs but you have to work together through them.&#8221;
