Friends of Ruth Maguire funeral hears how 'family was at the heart of her life' have launched a fundraising page to support her family.
On Saturday she was laid to rest in North Belfast.
The 30-year-old died after going missing on a hen night in Carlingford, Co Louth.
At her funeral St Vincent de Paul Church in Ligoniel, the priest said: “Ruth was slow to take offence and quick to forgive, she realised that life is too short.
“Family was at the heart of Ruth’s life, and Ruth and Jim were due to receive the sacrament of marriage this year, my prayer is that the grace you were due to receive that day, will come to you today Jim and sustain you in the future.”
Friends are trying to raise money to help Ruth’s partner Jim and their children Tyler, Lydia and Oliver.

Pal Leighann Flood said: “Following a recent and most unfortunate tragic accident imaginable Ruth Maguire lost her life.
“Ruth was the most loving, hardworking and caring mother to her three beautiful children Tyler, Lydia and Oliver. Along with her fiance Jim, they worked tirelessly to give their children the best that they possibly could in life.
“From gymnastics, Irish dancing, football and local GAA Ruth made it her life to make sure the children attended as much as possible so that they would get the most out of their childhood.
