Speaking at Marian Finucane’s funeral, her son Jack Clarke said his mother was a "classy lady with soul", who had a "razor sharp mind", who was patient and compassionate, and great company.
Ms Finucane has been remembered an icon of Irish broadcasting who will always be remembered for her outstanding journalistic abilities, her keen intellect, warmth, wit, thoughtfulness, compassion and kindness.
Speaking at the funeral, Ms Finucane's husband John Clarke said she was a woman he loved for 40 years, who "made colours brighter" and made "the world easier to live in".
Ms Finucane, who died last Thursday aged 69, worked for RTÉ for over 40 years, most recently as the presenter of The Marian Finucane Show, a popular weekend current affairs radio programme.
She had previously presented programmes including Women Today and Liveline.
The Bright Lady, played on the uilleann pipes by Peter Browne, echoed through St Brigid's Church in Kill as hundreds of mourners attended her funeral mass today.
Among those in attendance were President Michael D Higgins' aide-de-camp Commandant Dorothy Donnelly and Taoiseach Leo Varadkar.
Many of her friends and colleagues from RTÉ over the years were there to pay their respects, including broadcasters Joe Duffy, Claire Byrne, Miriam O'Callaghan and Ryan Tubridy.
Jack said there were "many versions" of his mother, but the woman he knew was a "shy lady" who was as happy reading a book as laughing, joking and singing, debating the politics of the day or solving the world's problems at a dinner party.
