Former journalist Aideen Kennedy was an inspiration who lit up every room she entered, mourners at her funeral have heard.
The 43-year-old mother of two, who was best known from her time as a reporter with UTV, died in hospital last week, hours after revealing on social media that she was receiving palliative care for an illness. Ms Kennedy, from Belfast, was the last surviving sibling of four children.
She, her sister Fiona and brothers Rory and Dara have all now died before their parents, Maura and Noel. Retired cleric Father Sean McCartney, who also presided at the funerals of Fiona and Dara, told the congregation at the Good Shepherd Church in Belfast that he was not aware of another couple who had suffered so much loss.
