Those special memories of you will always bring a smile,
if only we could have you back for just a while.
Then we could sit and talk again, just like we used to do,
you always meant so very much and always will do too.
The fact that you're no longer here, will always cause us pain,
but you're forever in our hearts, until we meet again.

Much loved and sadly missed every day.

It is with the greatest of regret that we have to inform you of the death of Mairi Claire Routledge (Née Sayers), Newcastle, and formerly of Glenravel. Mairi Claire passed away peacefully at St. Oswald's, Gosforth, Newcastle Upon Tyne, on the 24th February 2026, with her loving family by her side. May she rest in peace.

Mairi Claire’s Requiem Mass will be celebrated in St. John the Evangelist Church, Carnlough on the 11th March at 11.00am, burial afterwards in Mary Queen of Peace cemetery, Glenravel.

Her parting leaves a huge hole in all of our lives.

May Mairi Claire rest in peace. St. Pio pray for her.

Mairi Claire loved nature and being outdoors, so we kindly request that instead of flowers being sent to the family, you sow some seeds outside and think of her.

Alternatively, if you’d like to make a small donation, it can be made to St Oswald’s Hospice. The love, care and support they gave Mairi Claire in her final days is something we as a family will never forget, and they will continue to support us as a family as we try to move forward and learn to live our lives without our beautiful Mairi Claire.
