Ecuador earthquake victim Sister Clare Crockett, an ‘inspiration’

A young Irish nun killed in the earthquake in Ecuador was an inspirational example of womanhood, mourners at her funeral service have been told.

Sister Clare Theresa Crockett, 33, died when a stairwell collapsed in the school where she was working in Playa Prieta earlier this month.

Hundreds packed into St Columba’s Church close to her family home in the Brandywell area of Derry for Requiem Mass.
