Emily Whinnery

A doting toddler believed to have died as a result of a tragic choking incident has been named as Emily Whinnery.

The 15-month-old girl died suddenly at a property in Cookstown on Sunday afternoon.

Emergency services attended the scene on Burnvale Crescent including the NI Ambulance Service and the Air Ambulance.

A Service of Thanksgiving for Emily’s life will take place in Derryloran Parish Church on Friday, March 14 at 1:30pm, followed by burial in Cookstown Cemetery.

Mourners have been asked to wear bright colours to celebrate Emily’s life with any donations going to the Air Ambulance charity.

A family notice states that “baby Emily Whinnery passed into God’s Heavenly Kingdom”.

“Beloved Daughter of Stacey Whinnery and Blane Gordon, much adored Sister of Rhys, Charlie and Riley, loving Granddaughter of Hazel (Keith) and Stephen (Joyce) and cherished Niece of Laura, Kirsty (Corey), Nicole (Ryan) and Nikita (John),” it adds.

“Forever loved and missed by the entire Whinnery, Holdsworth, Donaghy and Gordon Family Circle.

“The smallest of feet have the power to leave big and everlasting footprints on our hearts.”

Police have said they are investigating the circumstances surrounding the sudden death and that “enquiries are continuing at this time”.
