Jaysus, JohnM, she's not even buried yet!
- She lived her life the way she wanted without kowtowing to anyone (no mean feat)
- She made fantastic music
across several genres (no mean feat)
- She possessed one of the finest voices Ireland has ever produced.
- She could have rested on her laurels and pumped out 'Greatest Hits' forever and done those "Women's Heart" tours. Instead she made new music right up to the end.
- She was a feminist icon / a hero to many women (e.g. abortion rights / BLM before BLM existed - e.g. "Black Boys on Mopeds")
- She was ahead of the game with her denunciation of clerical abuse.
- She made an amazing Lemon Drizzle Cake (
I might have made that one up 
)
