In the first deleted scene, she is briefly seen in the background jiving to a man playing the piano. She is then seen in the third class party scenes here and there. She is the woman who exclaims, "Jesus, Mary and Joseph!" as a reaction to Rose's toe-standing skill.
Third Class Irish Woman gives Rose a blanket
During the sinking, in one of the deleted scene, she gives Rose a coat, saying, "Here ma'm, cover yourself". Rose thanks her. Her husband offers Rose and Jack a flask of brandy as it will "take the chill away", where Jack drinks it and replies "cheers".

She also appears when Jack forcefully breaks through one of the third-class gates. She helps Rose get rid of some of the passengers blocking the gate while her husband helps Jack, Fabrizio and Tommy break the gate. Unfortunately, when they got to the boat deck, all the boats were gone. Losing hope, the two of them ran towards the stern, praying with Pastor Thomas Byles and the other passengers.
Third Class Irish Woman's dead body
As the ship was tilting almost 90 degrees, she and her husband fall to their death. Her deceased body appear in the icy waters. Her body was shown right after 5th Officer Lowe saying: "check them", where one replies "These are dead, sir".
