The funeral for Strabane schoolgirl Holly Gormley will be held in Lifford this week.
Holly, a much-adored 11-year-old, passed away last week from a rare blood condition.
Holly was diagnosed with aplastic anaemia just five months ago.
The daughter of Claire and Gareth, and sister of JD, she was a ‘precious’ pupil of St Catherine’s Primary School. She was also a promising young athlete with the Lifford Strabane Athletic Club.
“Holly was a lovely energetic young child, and showed lots of potential in the sport, actively taking part in all events. Holly showed great enthusiasm and had many friends at the club,” said a tribute from the club.
The club will be part of a guard of honour at Holly’s funeral on Monday.
