Orla Wilson

Tributes continue to pour in online, describing Ms Wilson as “a lovely person, kind and considerate, always keeping an eye out for others.”

The funeral for Orla Wilson, the woman who died following a house fire at her home in Nurney over the weekend, is expected to take place this week.

Ms Wilson, who was in her fifties, was predeceased by her parents Andy and Kitty, and her sister Liz.

She is sadly missed by her son Andrew and his partner Sara, sisters Kate and Mary, brother-in-law Michael and Garth, aunt Annette, uncle Sean, nephews and nieces Pippa, Michael, Robert, Andrew, Ellen, Jennifer and Hugh, along with relatives, neighbours, friends and work colleagues.

Tributes continue to pour in online, describing Ms Wilson as “a lovely person, kind and considerate, always keeping an eye out for others.”

One colleague wrote that “she was a sweetheart in work - always a kind word and a big hello to everyone,” while another said “KCC will be a little less bright without her shining light.”

Others remembered her as “always cheerful, welcoming and ready to listen.”

Gardaí say no foul play is suspected in connection with the fire, which occurred on Saturday.

Funeral arrangements are being finalised.
