Vicky Phelan has been laid to rest after a private funeral in accordance with her wishes.
The family of the cervical cancer campaigner said a final farewell to her in a private ceremony. In a statement from her husband Jim and her children Amelia and Darragh, family said. “She was the heart and soul of our family unit and her passing will leave a void in all our lives, that at this point seems impossible to fill.
"We cherish the memories of a loving wife, mother, daughter and sister, whose ability to deal with the struggles of life has inspired not only ourselves but an entire nation. The outpouring of grief and good wishes from far and wide are truly appreciated."
