Mrs Coyne was from Castlerea in County Roscommon.

She was the mother of two children, Tom and Pauline, and was a grandmother and great grandmother. Her husband, Roger, died some years ago.

Eight years ago, she received the centenarian medal from Irish President, Michael D Higgins.

She became the oldest person in Ireland following the death of Dubliner Elizabeth Dempsey last year.
