‘Beautiful all-rounder’ Marian Horgan laid to rest

A woman who was found with fatal injuries in the kitchen of her home was yesterday remembered at her requiem Mass as a “beautiful all-rounder’ with many hidden talents.

Marian Horgan, a 61-year-old mother of three, was pronounced dead at her family home in Murmount Avenue, Montenotte, Cork, on the morning of November 23. Her only son, Paul, was charged with her murder.

At Mrs Horgan’s requiem Mass at St Joseph’s Church in Mayfield yesterday, her brother Jim Eager said his sister provided a glowing example to him in terms of how she brought up her children.
