IT was a bright spot on a dark day as little Korey Lee was laid to rest alongside his sister and mother, shrouded in the image of his favourite cartoon character.

The five-year-old, his six-year-old sister Amber Rose and their mother Yvette Rigney-Wilson, 29, were farewelled on Tuesday – six weeks after they died in an alleged triple murder.

About 200 mourners packed a chapel in Adelaide’s northern suburbs for a tearful farewell to “three angels taken too soon”.

Wind and rain swirled as their coffins were lowered into the grounds of Enfield Memorial Park beneath grey skies.

Butterflies, brightly coloured gerberas and teddy bears adorned Amber’s coffin, while roses sat atop her mother’s ivory coffin, which was draped in the Aboriginal flag.

The mother and children were killed on May 30 at a property at Hillier, north of Adelaide.

Ms Rigney-Wilson’s partner Steven Graham Peet, 30, is charged with their murders.

Family and friends – including the children’s father and surviving brother – attended the religious service at Clearview.

Little Amby, as she was known, was remembered as an avid singer.

“Amber even sang when there were bad days,” said a male family member, speaking on behalf of their maternal grandmother Donna Rigney.

“And Korey ... he was so cute. Yvette loved her family in ways no one could know.”

A former foster carer of Ms Rigney-Wilson described her as a happy teenager. “The house was so quiet when she left us,” the woman said.

Former carers have previously told how Ms Rigney-Wilson appeared to be struggling with a drug addiction.

Child protection agency Families SA has confirmed it was in “active” contact with Ms Rigney-Wilson.
