“Her children were here everything”

Tributes have been pouring in for mum-of-three Julie Kehoe who sadly died in a car crash in Co. Meath.

The horror accident occurred on December 31st, leaving her family completely heartbroken.

27-year-old Julie has been remembered as the “best mother and friend”.

Her family said they are suffering “hell on Earth” after her tragic passing.

Julie was driving with her three children when her car collided with another on the N52 in Kells, Co. Meath.

Her 12-year-old son Jack and two daughters aged 1-year-old and 3-weeks old were taken to hospital, but their injuries are not life-threatening.

The couple in the other car, Saoirse Corrigan and Shane ­Gilchrist, were also killed in the accident.

Julie’s sister Martina told The Gorey Guardian that her sister “lived a good life”.

“Her children were her everything. She was just the best mother, daughter sister, friend, and carer you could ask for,” her sister shared.

“Nothing was ever too much for her as she was so strong,” she continued.

“She was bubbly and fun to be around and sometimes she might book a weekend away, and she’d just offer it up to anyone to go with her because she knew she’d be going anyway regardless.

Her sister said Julie “lit up every room”.

“And she was such a good aunty, all of her nieces and nephews are at such a loss.

“She was so loved by everyone and she didn’t know how much she meant to everyone”.

Julie’s funeral will take place on Thursday, January 6th at 12 pm at St. Patrick’s Church Craanford.

We are keeping her loved ones in our thoughts during this unthinkable time.
