Granny Nancy – Ireland’s Oldest Lady Who Lived, Loved & Laughed for 107 Years

You will never read a book like this again!

This is Louise Coghlan’s first book and it was written during the many lockdowns she spent cocooning with Granny Nancy. This book tells the story of Ireland’s Oldest lady Nancy Stewart who lived for 107 years and 326 days & how Granny Nancy became a global social media sensation in her final years.

The tale of two best friends who while locked into their home looked out and looked up & gave the world a reason to believe in hope, healing and happiness. From children to adults alike, the success of this book lies in its easy to read style along with lots of humour and over 130 colour photographs.

This is a book you won’t want to put down & one that will leave you smiling from ear to ear. Described as a book ‘every home should have’, the story of Granny Nancy and Lou will fill your heart with hope and happiness from the minute it lands in your hands. 

For more fun from Lou, her very popular Facebook home – https://www.facebook.com/livingandlaughingwithlou is alive with laughter and love & is where Lou very much keeps Granny Nancy’s life shining bright.

Lou travels the world now as a motivational coach and communicator where she speaks of love, loss, loneliness and grief and also how by looking up to the light, we can cope with the darkness of this world. Louise writes weeks and produces a mini podcast every Friday on her Substack Newsletter which is linked here – https://livingandlaughingwithlou.substack.com

A few fans of this book include:

“Nancy lived with her husband and her family at their modest little home in Clonard for over 70 years. Up to a very short time before her death she still lived in the house with her granddaughter Louise Coghlan, who always described her as the greatest granny in the world. Louise adored her Granny and, in fact, I often slagged her that she had become Nancy’s media agent – welcoming the TV and radio stations of the world into the house alongside the print and electronic media for endless interviews and chats – and the best part of all that was the fact that Nancy clearly enjoyed every moment of it. Right until the very end, Nancy held onto her great dignity and her pride. She was a wonderful lady – a great person and a tremendous mother and grandmother. It was a great personal pleasure to meet her.  She will be fondly missed.” Ciaran Mullooly, RTE News Reporter

“Thanks Nancy for giving me so much hope in what was a really difficult time, and to Louise for sharing your lovely Granny Nancy with all of us.” Mairead Ronan, TV Presenter & Broadcaster.

“Lou has written a book we can all relate to, that generations to come will benefit from. The tale of a grandmother and granddaughter navigating an international emergency and how they invited us all in, to live, love and learn with them.” Sahm Venter, Journalist & Editor of ‘The Prison Letters of Nelson Mandela’

“Nancy and Lou, what a team. Their craic and connection was something special that moved past the now into the beyond. Because it moved people. Two good eggs nested together, forever and always.” Wallis Bird, Irish Award Winning Musician.
