A CIVIL servant who lost her legs and part of her hand in a IRA bomb attack has been remembered for her `generous spirit' following her death just months before the 30th anniversary of the devastating blast.
Mrs Gourley had twice been honoured by the Queen, first with an MBE and then an OBE.
Working for the Industrial Development Board, she was the victim of a mistaken identity attack on June 2, 1991 when the Provos planted a booby-trap under her car.
The IRA said Mrs Gourley was not the intended target.
UUP justice spokesman Doug Beattie MLA paid tribute to Mrs Gourley.
He said that she typified the grace and resilience of victims seriously injured during our Troubles through a vicious terrorist campaign . Largely a forgotten group, who were not even entitled to an investigation as part of the Stormont House Agreement, Celia packed her life doing the best for Northern Ireland as part of the Industrial Development Board, ADAPT NI, or as vice chair of the NI Prosthetics Forum, he said.
