    A large and lavish funeral was held in Letterkenny today for Martina Connors, a well-known and respected member of the local Traveller community.

    Mrs. Connors, of Neil T Blaney Road, passed away peacefully at Letterkenny University Hospital on Thursday.

    St Eunan’s Cathedral was filled with Mrs. Connors’ family and many members of the wider community who gathered for the Requiem Mass this morning.

    The church entrance was adorned with a beautiful display of flowers.

    Remembering Mrs. Connors.

    A large screen outside the cathedral showed images of Mrs. Connors, celebrating her life and cherished moments with her family.

    Many attendees wore white t-shirts bearing images of Mrs. Connors, a testament to the high regard and affection in which she was held.  

    She was predeceased by her husband, Mickey, as well as three sons and one daughter. She is survived by her sons Danny, Michael, Austin, Tommy, Miley, Charlie, John, and Jimmy, and daughters Pearl, Margaret, Nellie, Tina, and Annie.

    Mrs. Connors is also survived by her sisters, sons-in-law, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and a wide circle of extended family and friends.

    A horse-drawn carriage conveyed Mrs. Connors to her final resting place at New Leck Cemetery.

    Following the Mass, her remains were transported in a gold-colored coffin on a glass-sided carriage, drawn through the town’s streets by six white horses.

    Mourners lined the streets as the cortege, which included a white stretch limousine and numerous luxury cars, proceeded to Leck Cemetery for the burial.

    May she rest in peace.
