I found no independent coverage to indicate notability, the article in The Guardian was written by subjects daughter, while death notice in Irish Times is also not independent. other lives in The Guardian is a section explicitly not indicative of notability, instead covering relatively ordinary people.

Delete, without prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can do better. As a founding member of a political party, I can imagine that it might be possible that she actually has better sourcing hiding in the archives than the article currently uses — but I don't have access to any database in which I could find 50-year-old media coverage from Northern Ireland, and she needs a lot more than just her paid inclusion death notice from the classifieds and an obituary self-written by her own daughter. Of course, I'm willing to reconsider if somebody can show stronger sources than this article is currently using, but we don't keep poorly sourced articles just because it's possible to speculate about whether better sources might exist — we only keep poorly sourced articles if somebody can definitively show that better sources do exist.
