She was named locally in the region as Miriam Burns, 75.
Gardaí had previously arrested a suspect, however, they were subsequently released without charge last year.
Tributes poured in for Burns following the discovery of her body, with local councillor Donal Grady telling RTE News at One: "We will remember her as a woman who was always in good humour. She always had a broad smile and was everybody’s friend.
“She was very popular, a bouncy girl. She may have been 75 but she looked 50. She was everyone’s friend. We are all in bits, we’re devastated."
