The family of a West Belfast woman who died after a brave cancer fight, have described her as "a beautiful soul".
Sharon Conley (nee Rooney), from the Falls Road, was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2020, which she was told was 'triple negative breast cancer', an aggressive form of the disease.
She went through chemotherapy and radiotherapy to be told she was in the clear.

She was then dealt another devastating hand - her cancer had returned in her liver, lymph nodes and stomach area.
Her family had been campaigning to get the mum-of-two back to Mexico for specialist treatment which had worked for her in the past.
Sharon died peacefully at the NI Hospice surrounded by her loving family on November 13, 2022.
She was the beloved wife of Stephen, a loving mother to Grace and Cadain, a much loved sister of Lisa and Lynsey, daughter of Brina, granddaughter of Alice and a friend to many.
Speaking to Belfast Live, Sharon's family said: "Sharon was a beautiful soul and an inspiration to us all. Our lives now will never be the same.
"She has gave us so many memories to think on to help us though.
"She loved her children and family with such passion and never gave up fighting for them. She is an inspiration."
Sharon’s remains will leave 79 Albert Street on Friday at 1.45pm for 2pm Requiem Mass in St Peters Cathedral followed by a service in Roselawn Crematorium on Saturday morning at 8am.
