Paulette Moran a beautiful soul, rest in peace.

#Traveltradetogether

Paulette Moran a beautiful soul, rest in peace.

It’s with a heavy heart today we write our tribute to a true friend, lady and simply a beautiful human being.

The untimely death of Paulette Moran has been met with huge shock and sadness within the entire Travelbiz team and throughout the travel industry today. Paulette was well known to us all as the ever-smiling face that greeted us at Holiday World countrywide every January. Armed with her clipboard, Paulette was a stalwart of Business Exhibitions and ran the show with efficiency, diplomacy and friendliness.

Paulette spent over 30 years working alongside Maureen Ledwith and Edmund Hourican at Business Exhibitions Ltd., and latterly with Maria and Shane Hourican. Speaking fondly of Paulette, Maria states: “We are profoundly saddened by the passing of Paulette. Paulette was more than a colleague; she was a true friend. She was loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure.

As Paulette was involved with many aspects of the business, she was relied upon to bring an enormous degree of professionalism to her work and her expertise shone through in every task she undertook. Perhaps though Paulette will be best remembered for her winning smile, her bubbly personality and her immense sense of fun.

It’s very difficult to assimilate this terrible news and we can only offer our sincere condolences to Paulette’s family who must surely be suffering and now have an enormous loss to bear.

Paulette, you were indeed a beautiful soul and an absolute lady – right down to your super-efficient fingertips.

May your gentle soul rest in eternal peace.
