Locals attending the funeral have been shocked by Mairead's death.
Alyssia Carney, who is from the Kilmaganney area, told Beat 102-103: "It's a massive shock. We're usually watching (things like this) on the televsion, and then it came to our own village. We just couldn't believe it.
"We're devastated for her family - (her parents) Pete and Margo are the nicest people you could meet - and for her two sisters as well."
