A woman in her 80s killed in a tragic road accident in Falcarragh yesterday has been named locally as Mrs Keyna Barrett.
The mother-of-five from Moyra Glebe, Falcarragh passed away at Letterkenny University Hospital following a single vehicle crash at Ballina Road yesterday afternoon.
Tributes have flowed in for Mrs Barrett (nee Joyce) who was hugely well-known and respected in the local community.
All remember her as a caring and gentle lady who always put others first.
Although originally from Salthill in Galway, Keyna had made Donegal her home and will be remembered as a much-loved local community nurse.
Predeceased by her late husband Jim Barrett, she is survived by her five children John, Declan, Mairead, Sinead and Paula.
May she rest in peace.
