Tributes are being paid this week after the sad death of an Offaly-born nun in the US.

The Lumcloon native was predeceased by her beloved parents, Kieran and Mary, step-mother Kitty, brother Padraig, brother-in-law Phelim and nephew Barry.
"Sr Anna will be sadly missed and fondly remembered by her loving community, and family, brothers Kieran and Oliver, sister Eileen Kerin, sisters-in-law Kitty and Sheila, nieces, nephews, cousins, relatives and friends," her RIP.ie notice read.
