Mum of four, Tracey Corbett-Lynch been honoured with a special recognition award at the 2025 Woman’s Way and Beko Mum of the Year Awards 2025.

The special recognition award for the Limerick mother celebrates her extraordinary courage and resilience after the tragic death of her brother, Jason Corbett, in 2015.

During the special award ceremony, the packed room heard, “Tracey had to call on all the resilience and strength to navigate grief in the worst of circumstances amid a media frenzy. Tracey and her husband, David, became guardians to Jason’s two young children, Jack and Sarah. Giving them a home full of stability and love alongside their two sons, Tracey continues to inspire through her advocacy, her family life, and her example of courage.”

The dedicated mother of four has used her grief to help others through community efforts and she has also written two books, one in the memory of her late brother, Jason Corbett, and a second sharing tools to help people navigate grief and lessons she has learned from it.

Before receiving the award, the MC said, “ Tracey is no stranger to grief and says, ‘it left a gaping hole in my life that I struggled to fill. More still, I simply couldn’t make sense of it.’ She’s a mum-in-a-million.”

Jackie Fox was crowned Woman’s Way & Beko Mum of the Year 2025 and Laura Dowling won Celebrity Mum of the Year. The winners were announced at a special ceremony at 25 Fitzwilliam Place, Dublin.

Now marking its tenth year, the partnership between Woman’s Way and Beko returned to host the annual Mum of the Year awards which celebrates the evolving role of Irish mothers and their impact throughout all areas of society.
