The death has taken place of Rita (Margaret) McLaughlin (née Porter), 72 Croaghan Heights, Lifford, Co. Donegal, following a long illness, and in the peaceful embrace of her family at Donegal Hospice.
Much‑loved and devoted wife of Ian.
Loving mother to her heartbroken children Stephen (Nataly), Carina (Michael) and Daniel (Sarah). Cherished Granny to Eve, Liam, Rónán, Reilly and Anamaria.
Sadly missed by her sisters and brother: Jennifer Brolly, Benny Porter and Christina, Frances Foley, Monica O’Loughlin and Brian, Millie Colhoun and Danny, Helen Porter, and Pauline Porter. Lovingly remembered by her sisters‑in‑law Angela, Valerie, Moira, Claire and Rosemarie, all her nieces and nephews, the wider family circle, neighbours and friends.
Rita was predeceased by her parents Bob and Maggie Porter, and her brother Eunan.
May they all Rest in Peace.
The family kindly ask those attending the wake and funeral to be considerate and patient with Ian, who has moderate dementia and may struggle with conversation and recalling names.
Deep in our hearts your memory is kept, to love, to cherish, and never forget.
