Her Requiem Mass will take place at 11am in St Malachy’s Church, Edendork, on Wednesday followed by interment in the adjoining cemetery.

Ms Currie spent most of her professional life teaching in St Patrick’s Primary School, Dungannon, until she retired some years ago.

In a social media tribute, Edendork GAC said: “Briege always had a smile on her face, she was a caring and sincere person and she will be sorely missed by everyone in the Edendork community and by many beyond.”

Ms Currie is survived by her brothers and sisters.
