Sarah McNally was laid to rest on Monday morning in Longford

The beloved 41-year-old was tragically killed in a stabbing in a New York bar last weekend. On March 30th, Sarah's life was cut short in a stabbing at the Ceili House Pub in Queens.

She had been working at the bar for many years before the harrowing attack.

The New York attack completely broke the hearts of Sarah's loved ones in New York and Ireland.

They gathered to pay their respects in Longford this morning.

According to The Independent, Fr Michael McGrath said locals are completely stunned by the attack.

Sarah has been described as someone who was larger than life. Others described her as "special" and a "force to be reckoned with".
