Family and friends greeted each other outside the doors with long embraces as police in unmarked vehicles later lead the funeral procession to Greenlawn Memorial Gardens in Oldcastle.
According to an obituary, Carly’s greatest joy in life was becoming a mother, noting she was ever present in her children's lives, getting involved within their school communities while sharing a love for the outdoors.
The children's father and Carly's husband, Steve Walsh was also found dead inside the home on County Road 13 near Harrow, but was not included in Tuesday's funeral arrangements.
