The family of the late Vicky Phelan have invited members of the public to attend an upcoming celebration of her life to be held in the Church of the Assumption, Mooncoin.

In a statement on social media, the family expressed their heartfelt gratitude for all the good wishes over the last week, and confirmed that they are planning to hold a very special event.

"Vicky was a friend to many and was keen to ensure that all who wanted had the opportunity to join with us in a celebration of her life and pay their final respects," the family stated.

"With this in mind, we invite you to her native Mooncoin, County Kilkenny on Sunday, November 27 next at 1pm, where we will do our best to honour that wish.

"As numbers in the church itself are limited, there will be a live stream available on the day also, details of which will be posted later in the week along with further updates on the event itself.

"At this point it’s fair to say that music will feature prominently, with some of her favourite musicians playing a few of her favourite tunes on the day."

Following her passing last week her family have asked that donations be made to Milford Care Hospice in Castletroy in Limerick in lieu of flowers.
