CervicalCheck campaigner Ruth Morrissey was remembered as wise, witty, and a “natural mother” who had “lived her truth” and reached out to help others, at her funeral Mass today.

In an emotional tribute, Ruth Morrissey’s heartbroken husband, Paul, told the small gathering of family and friends in Mary Magdalene Church in Monaleen, Limerick, that he and their daughter, Libby, may never recover from losing her.
