Tragic mum-of-three Ruth Maguire, who died on a night out with friends last week, has been laid to rest.The alarm was raised last Saturday when Ms Maguire went missing on a hen night in Carlingford Co Louth, sparking a major search, before her body was found in the nearby lough.
A guard of honour made up of children and adults from Ms Maguire's local GAA club, Bryansford GAC in Newcastle, where she volunteered as a coach, stood outside the church. The priest told mourners Ms Maguire dedicated her life to others, through her job as a carer, coaching sport and Irish dancing."Family was at the heart of Ruth's life, and Ruth and Jim were due to receive the sacrament of marriage this year, my prayer is that the grace you were due to receive that day, will come to you today Jim and sustain you in the future.
