The woman killed in a tragic road traffic incident in east Donegal at the weekend will be laid to rest on Wednesday.
Patricia McBrearty, who was in her 80s, died after she was struck by a lorry in the village of St Johnston on Friday afternoon.
The rural village has been plunged into sadness following the sudden death of the popular mother and grandmother who lived just yards from where the tragedy occurred at Church Street, off the village’s Main Street, at 2pm.
The much loved lady was the fourth person to die on Donegal’s roads in just six days. Her death brings to twelve the number of people who have been killed on Donegal’s roads so far this year – two more than all of last year.
Mrs McBrearty was predeceased by her late husband Paddy and is survived by her son Brian (Majella), daughters Tina (Ciaran) and Susie (Geoff), adoring grandmother of Cara, Hannah, PJ and Eimear, sister of Anne Strain (Burnfoot) and late Elizabeth Kavanagh (Fahan) and much loved larger circle of family and friends.
Patricia will be reposing at her late residence Church St, St Johnston, from 7pm this evening and all day Tuesday for wake. Family time on the morning of the funeral please.
Funeral Cortege will be leaving her home at 10.30am on Wednesday morning, 4th September, going to St Baithin’s Church, St Johnston for 11 o’clock Requiem Mass with burial afterwards in the adjoining cemetery.
