Tributes paid to 'one-of-a-kind' Belfast mum who 'brightened up every room she walked into'

Tributes have been paid to a "one-of-a-kind" Belfast mum who was the "life and soul of the party" and "brightened up every room she walked into".

Mum-of-one Lisa Gregg died on Friday, July 30, and hundreds of tributes have been paid to the popular Belfast woman who worked at Maggie Mays in the city, Belfast Live reports.

In a message from all her fellow staff members, Maggie Mays told Belfast Live: "She was the life and soul of the party, no matter where she walked into she made everyone laugh, she brightened up every room she walked into!

"Definitely one-of-a-kind, our wee melter! She will be loved and missed from everyone at Maggie Mays!!"

Lisa had worked at the Castle Street branch of the popular cafe for three years.

In a separate post on their Facebook page, Maggie Mays paid tribute to Lisa as they broke the news of her death to customers.

They said: "It is with great sorrow to announce the death of one of our Maggies Team, Lisa Gregg.

"Lisa has been a part of the Maggies Castle Street family for the past 3 years, if you ever had the pleasure to have met Lisa you’ll know she brightened any room she walked into. She was one of the craziest, funniest and biggest characters we have ever met and we will miss her more than words can say. She was one of a kind.

"Thank you Lisa for always making us laugh with your ridiculousness, you were so so loved. You were and always will be, our wee melter.

"Our thoughts and love are with her parents Harry and Elizabeth, her siblings Ciaran, Kelly and Debbie, her daughter Rionach and all her friends & family."

Maggie Mays Castle Street will be closed on Tuesday, August 3, from 12.30pm - 2.30pm so the staff can pay their respects.
