Born and raised in the charming town of Listowel, County Kerry, Diane Moloney was known for her radiant smile, warm personality, and unwavering devotion to her family.

Lorcan shared a touching tribute:
“Diane touched the hearts of everyone she met with her beautiful smile and giggly laughter. She always looked after her two brothers — even though I am the eldest one. The loss of my sister has broken our hearts and those who knew her.”
