Religion An Irish-Australian, Hazel Treweek was a deeply committed Roman Catholic, although in later years her views on religious and social issues reportedly became somewhat more liberal. One of her relations was Cardinal Michael Logue (1840 - 1924), Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All-Ireland through World War I, the Easter Rising, the Irish War of Independence, the Anglo-Irish Treaty, which led to Partition and the resulting Irish Civil War. Death Her last years were marked by arthritis and she underwent heart bypass surgery. But as she remarked at the launch of the foundation: "I don't have arthritis of the brain." Long a widow, she died of cancer, aged 86, and was survived by her daughters, Helen and Ann, and four grandchildren.
