‘You are forever in our hearts': Family pay tribute to Marie Green who was killed in her own Belfast home
Mary (Marie) Green was found dead in the early hours of Tuesday morning in her home.
Her son Lewis Green appeared in court earlier this week charged with killing the 71-year-old.
Mrs Green's funeral will take place next Friday.
A Service of Thanksgiving will be held at Antrim and Newtownabbey Crematorium.
A death notice said Mrs Green was a 'beloved wife", a 'much loved mum' and 'a loving granny'.
It said her death was 'deeply regretted by the entire family circle', adding: 'Marie, you are forever in our hearts.'
Mrs Green's remains will leave Wrays Funeral Home on the Shore Road on Friday at 11.20am for the service of thanksgiving at the crematorium on the Doagh Road, Newtownabbey, at noon.
On Thursday Lewis Green (31), also of Shore Road, was remanded into custody accused of her murder, with the alleged offence aggravated by reason of involving domestic abuse.
He has also been charged with non-fatal strangulation on June 2, and with the common assault of another person, which was also described as aggravated by reason of involving domestic abuse.
It is understood police were called to the scene late on Monday evening after receiving a 999 call from Mrs Green.
'I'm just in complete shock,' one neighbour said.
Another added: 'It really is shocking, I am just stunned.'
A third said: 'People can't believe it, just being down the road. You certainly don't expect it.
'She would have been a regular at the shop.'
Another spoke of fear in the community, with a mix of confusion and sadness.
Earlier this week, North Belfast DUP MLA, Phillip Brett, said: 'There is a massive shock and sadness in the Shore Road community following (the) tragic incident … my thoughts and prayers are with all those impacted.'
Local Alliance MLA, Nuala McAllister, said: 'This was a horrifying incident and I want to express my deepest sympathies to the family and loved ones of the victim.
'The local community is in immense shock, but I have no doubt they will come together to support the family during what will be such a distressing time.'

Wife's chilling four words after killing, castrating and cooking husband
A California model tied the knot with a man named Bill Nelson only three days after they first met, but Omaiama Nelson's account paints a dark picture of their union. The Egyptian-born model and nanny claimed her husband became violent just after they married, regularly subjecting her to physical and sexual abuse. Pushed to breaking point by her husband's abusive behaviour, Omaiama Nelson committed an act of horrifying violence. She mutilated Bill, killed him with a clothes iron, cooked his hands, and consumed one of his fingers, later expressing relief by saying "I'm glad I lived". Omaiama had settled in California from Egypt five years before the dreadful murder, working as a nanny and model. In 1991, she met 56 year old Bill, a pilot and much older than her, while playing pool at a bar. Their marriage quickly descended into violence, according to Omaiama, with her claims being supported by a psychological assessment that later diagnosed her with PTSD. On Thanksgiving Day in 1991, after another alleged sexual assault by Bill, Omaiama took a lethal stand, reports the Mirror US. Omaiama Nelson, a former Egyptian model, claimed that her husband sexually assaulted her during a bondage session. She told police she managed to break free from her restraints and attacked him with a lamp, stabbed him with scissors, and bludgeoned him to death with a clothes iron. He succumbed to his stab wounds. During the horrific attack, Omaiama was dressed in red, investigators revealed. However, this was just the start of the gruesome end for Bill. After killing Bill, Omaiama embarked on the horrifying task of dismembering her husband's body. It is believed she castrated him as an act of revenge for the alleged sexual assault. In a desperate bid to remove his fingerprints, the murderer boiled her husband's hands and cooked his head. She then mixed his body parts with leftover turkey from their Thanksgiving dinner and disposed of this mixture in the garbage disposal. The entire gruesome act took 12 hours, with Omaiama claiming she was in a 'trance-like state'. Just days prior to the murder, a home video showed the couple enjoying family time in the South of the US with relatives. This footage was presented to the jury before Omaima's parole was denied in 2011 by Orange County prosecutors. After the gruesome killing, Omaima Nelson was spotted driving her husband's red Corvette, which contained black rubbish bags on the front seat with human remains, as CBS2 reported. A video captured just after the police arrived at the scene shows an investigator shocked to discover organs in one of the bags. The trail of evidence led detectives to a blood-soaked flat where it's believed Omaima Nelson tied her husband to the bed and chopped him up. Two crucial pieces of evidence in the trial were a wooden knife and a cleaver. Neighbours reported hearing the waste disposal unit running non-stop for two days. More remains were discovered in a brown suitcase and the freezer. During her trial for the murder of her husband, Omaima Nelson told the court: "If I didn't defend my life, I would have been dead. I'm sorry it happened, but I'm glad I lived... I'm sorry I dismembered him." Omaima confessed to a psychiatrist that she seasoned his ribs with barbecue sauce and tasted them, although she has retracted these claims. Her attempts to persuade the jury that she was a victim of domestic abuse failed, despite a previous psychiatric evaluation and a complaint she made to a nurse in Orange County Jail. The note she wrote stated: "I am ready to lose it and go off on someone. Anyone. I can't sleep at night. I am extremely depressed."
