RIP: Tributes paid to late Tipperary mum who was a 'beautiful person'

The death has occurred of Susan McCormack, of Garden Close, Glenconnor, and formerly Baptistgrange, Lisronagh, Clonmel, Co Tipperary.

Susan died peacefully on October 16, on her 43rd birthday, following a long and courageous battle with cancer.

Throughout her illness she showed extraordinary courage, strength and determination.

At the heart of everything were her beloved children, Chloe and Ryan, who meant the world to her and gave her the strength to keep going.

Her remarkable bravery and unwavering love for her children were an inspiration to all who knew and loved her.

Susan is predeceased by her dearly loved parents, Marian and Nobby (Patrick), whom she lost at a young age and missed deeply throughout her life.

She took comfort in the thought that one day she would be reunited with them both.

Susan will be forever loved and deeply missed by her adored children Chloe and Ryan, loving brothers Alan and Shane, her much-loved uncle Michael, dear cousins Mandy and Michelle who were like sisters to her, her dear sisters-in-law Emma and Vera, loved nephews, aunts, uncles, aunts-in-law, cousins and extended family and her many dear and close friends.

May she rest in peace
