Many mourners expressed their sympathies on RIP.ie: “It is with great sadness that we hear of the passing of Maggie. A beautiful lady inside and out. I had many a mug of tea and a few slices of her famous brown bread. What a treat. May your gentle soul rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the families at this time.”

Another mourner wrote: “To the Owley family, sending you my deepest sympathy on the passing of your treasured Mam. She had a heart of gold. Maggie travelled every corner of Ireland with sports with her children, hunts, Irish dancing Maggie was a beautiful person and always with a smile for all. Rest in Peace and dance a reel with Bill again.”
