derry republican jan hegartys headstone unveiled on Easter Sunday 2010 by paddy hegarty and Martina Anderson MLA

Jan Hegarty, a dedicated Derry City republican, died on Saturday 9 January after a short illness. Married to Paddy with one daughter, Karen, Jan worked tirelessly on behalf of the prisoners for over 20 years. At her funeral, Councillor Kevin Campbell, a former blanket man, paid the following tribute: "Throughout the fight for Irish freedom there have been many people who have contributed enormously to that struggle, yet who have never made the headlines or indeed wanted to make the headlines. Jan Hegarty was one of these people. Indeed there have been many tasks within the struggle that people have been reluctant to take on, especially when it comes to raising money."councillor Kevin Campbell jan.2010
