The Women's Podcast · Mary McAleese vs The GAA / Justine Megan · 10 Sep 2026 podcast

Can you tell me your parents' love story?

She says they had an unhappy marriage and they were separated at the time of her death.

And she she said, I wanted the intern to ask me to describe how funny my mother was, how outrageous, how she coached girls' softball in 1967, how she often got in trouble at work for shooting her mouth off.

Has she?

Oh.

She's like.

Sounds like a woman's podcast woman.

She loved theatre, women's tennis, the Bronx and and the Mets.

And she only re-entered the workforce at fifty-two after her marriage dissolved.

And she died a vice president at Aeon.

So initially the nine eleven compensation fund, which was created by the US Congress to shield the airline industry from negligence claims effectively and to compensate families, do you know what they valued this incredible woman's life at?

At zero.

They said that she was sixty eight when she died and she should have retired and so she therefore she lost no income.

Now, th obviously the family uh massively um objected to this and Terry herself uh writes that my mother had shown no signs of retiring.

She'd always lied about her age, even crossing out her but Terry can't use her birth cert because her mother crossed out her date of birth on the birth cert because she wanted nobody to know, which is my kind of woman.

Um yeah.

And uh but so eventually her mother's boss was so traumatized by what happened because he was late going into work that day, so he survived.

And he he he found it very, very difficult to talk about it, but he did go back and testify before the committee hearings on behalf of Anne and said that she was wickedly smart, she was lively, she was insubnor subordinate, and she was definitely not retiring.

So she had listed her age at fifty five.
