Betty ‘lived life to the absolute fullest’, mourners told

A mother of five found dead in a hotel room in Galway this week was a cancer survivor who embraced life and was passionate about her family, hillwalking, and set dancing, her funeral Mass was told yesterday.

The parish of Stuake, Co Cork, came to a standstill at 12.30pm for the requiem Mass for Betty Harrington.

An hour earlier, the community was a hive of activity as locals prepared lunch for mourners.
