900 people support fundraising appeal for Sarah’s grieving family

Almost 900 people have now donated to a fundraising appeal for the family of a young woman who died in New York this week.

Sarah Reid died on Monday while in the US city with her husband Darren.

The couple, who live in the Moy, had travelled to New York as part of Sarah’s 30th birthday celebrations.

Her heartbroken family are now trying to bring her body home for burial.

An online fundraising page set up by a family friend has already raised £68,716 to help with the costs of bringing Sarah home and funeral expenses.

The young mother-of-two was originally from Banbridge in Co Down.

Sarah is survived by her husband and two sons, Alexander and Harry.

Also grieving are her parents, William and Madeleine, brother Irvine, parents-in-law, Harold and Olive, and sisters-in-law Judith and Charline.

A death notice for Sarah, whose maiden name was Macauley, says people are welcome to call at her family home in Banbridge.

The death notice says arrangements for Sarah’s funeral will be announced on Monday, February 17.
