Another message said, "Very sorry to hear of Majellas passing. I knew her in Gael Gua and she was a pleasure to care for. She had a great sense of humour and of course a great sense of style. May she rest in peace.

"Deepest condolences to all of Majella's family and friends. Thinking of you all at this sad time. It was a privilege to have worked with such a kind and beautiful person. Her smile lit up a whole room. She loved her family, her style and Dunnes stores might just have lost their best customer. Your friends in 11 Geal Gua will never forget you Majella.
