THE family of a Fermanagh couple, who passed away within six weeks of each other amid Covid-19 restrictions, are hoping to hold a benefit event in their memory when regulations are lifted next year.
Devoted husband and wife Vincent and Maureen Donegan, from Silverhill, Enniskillen, died just six weeks apart, both aged 79.
Maureen passed away peacefully on October 20, and Vincent six weeks later, on December 4.
"It came as a big shock," said the couple's son, Vincent (Vincey) Donegan.
"Mum and dad were outgoing people up until a couple of months ago. With mum going initially, and dad going six weeks later, it’s a big loss for us but it’s a small comfort that they are away together," he told this newspaper.
