An abundance of heartfelt condolences have been pouring in, following the sudden passing of Samantha Quigley, of An Sruthan and formerly of Ballyheane, Castlebar.

The mother of two passed away suddenly but peacefully at the Mater Hospital on August 7.

Friends, neighbours, and the wider community have left numerous messages online since her passing, remarking on her kind and caring personality.

“Our hearts are shattered for all of you. Samantha's sudden passing is a loss that feels impossible to hold. She was so full of love, joy, and life - a young mother whose warmth reached everyone around her. Even from across the world, she never felt far away. Our long conversations via phone meant more to me than I can ever express, and I will carry them with me always.

“Her light was extraordinary. Her love for her children was fierce and beautiful. Her spirit was vibrant, kind, and unforgettable. The world feels quieter without her in it.

“I hope her memory wraps around you gently and gives you moments of comfort in the days ahead,” one message read.

A former colleague of Samantha also expressed their condolences to her family and friends following the sudden passing.

“To Chris , Larry and Lorcan and all of Samantha’s family and close friends, deepest condolences to you all, worked with Sammy in Allergan, always guaranteed a laugh and many a great story after her weekends out.

“Sammy's two girls, Lucy and Shauna-Rose, were her pride and joy, and she could never mention them without beaming with pride. Will be thinking about you all over the next few hard days and months, may Sammy Rest in Peace,” the message concluded.

Samantha is predeceased by her dad, Anthony, her grandparents, and her aunts and uncles.

Never forgotten by all her wonderful cousins, neighbours, and a wide circle of friends.
