Tragedy struck the day after the wedding when her new sister-in-law fell down the stairs in her home and passed away a few days later. Emma had to cope with her grief, remaining strong for her children and has been a rock to her mother and father-in-law. Emma will now go on to attend the celebration event at Stormont later this month.

The grand final will be hosted by TV personality Claire McCollum who will crown the overall SuperValu SuperMum 2015 and the winner will take home a family trip to Disneyland Paris, courtesy of Clubworld Travel, with each finalist receiving a pamper hamper.

Donna Morrison, Marketing Manager of SuperValu, said: “We have been overwhelmed by the volume and standard of entries for this, our second SuperValu SuperMums competition. I’d like to congratulate Emma on being chosen as a SuperValu Ballymoney’s SuperMum and wish her all the best for the grand final!” Donna added.
