Rose became a nun, Sr. M. Stephanie Keenan. See obituary attached.
Extract from the Southern Star of January 26th, 1929 under the heading The Late Sister M. Stephanie Keenan.
We were very sorry to read the announcement of the death of this religious, who was daughter of the late Mr. James Keenan, and sister of Mr. Pat Keenan, the Hotel, Glandore. The writer knew her as a little child, she was then Rosie Keenan and a very promising youngster she was. Her mother was one of the well-known and highly respected O'Driscolls of Courtmacsherry. She was an aunt of Dr. P.L. O'Driscoll, Medical Officer of Timoleague and of Mr. Jerh. Murphy, County Surveyor. An uncle of the deceased, Rev. Andrew Keenan, died not very long since, a victim to duty, in the United States. We are sure that she is now enjoying the reward of an exemplary and well spent life.
