‘Much loved' mother-of-two (30s) dies five days after tragic road accident
Shelley Feeney, aged in her 30s, died on Saturday (April 19) as a result of the single-vehicle collision, which happened last Monday morning A young mother-of-two from north Antrim has passed away less than a week after a tragic road accident. Shelley Feeney, aged in her 30s, died on Saturday (April 19) as a result of the single-vehicle collision, which happened last Monday morning. Emergency services attended the scene in the Knockmore Road area of Ballymoney shortly after 10.30am and rushed the casualty to hospital, where she remained in the intensive care unit until her death. A PSNI spokesperson said a child also sustained minor injuries in the crash. Ms Feeney's father died the day after her crash. A death notice states that he died suddenly at the Royal Victoria Hospital. Ms Feeney's funeral will take place at Mosside Presbyterian Church with a Service of Thanksgiving at 11am on Wednesday. The church has also to date raised over £21,000 with an online fundraiser that Rev Andre Alves-Areias started for the Feeney family. Ms Feeney has been descried as the 'dearly loved partner of Stephen, much loved mother of Jake and Sophie, beloved daughter of the late James and June, dear granddaughter of Elsie and Mary Jane, much loved sister of Bobby and a dear sister-in-law, daughter-in-law, niece, aunt, cousin and friend'. The notice said her family would like to invite those attending the service to wear bright colours. Speaking to The Belfast Telegraph on Monday, Rev Andre Alves-Areias said: "My heart goes out to Stephen and the children, and to Bobby (her brother) and the wider of course to her friends and colleagues." "I was touched to see the community come together last week and I know they'll continue to come together for the family over the days, weeks, months and years that come." "The thing that keeps me going in times like this is the hope of the Easter story that we've just remembered. "The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the one thing I can hold onto, because it reminds me that if Jesus rose from the dead, and he promises that those who believe will follow him, then I'm going to cling to that promise with everything I've got. "So my prayer is that the family, friends and loved ones of Shelley will do the same and commit their fears, their grief, their hurt and their whole lives into Jesus' loving care - not just to get them through this difficult time, but to get them through every difficult time that comes after."
