The Andrea Roche agency model and blogger Pippa, who has often spoken of how close she was to her mum, is being comforted by her TV presenter husband Brian Ormond.
Her brother Cian was in the UK at the prestigious Horse of the Year Show with his wife Ruth Maybin when he got the news, and immediately flew home to be with his family.
The devastating death of her mum comes after a year of highs for Pippa.
Just last week she celebrated the first year of her website, pippa.ie.
The couple also celebrated son Ollie’s first birthday back in August and celebrated Pippa’s 30th birthday with a special bash.
