The funeral has taken place for Hannah Hauxwell whose tough life as a farmer in the north of England featured in a series of television programmes.
Hannah Hauxwell found fame in the 1970s as the programmes showed her difficult and remote life in Baldersdale, near Barnard Castle.
She died aged 91 at a nursing home in West Auckland, County Durham, in January.
The service took place at Barnard Castle Methodist Church.
It was in 1973 when Yorkshire Television's documentary Too Long A Winter introduced Hannah.
Viewers saw her struggle to run the 80-acre Low Birk Hatt farm after the death of her parents, and attempting to survive on less than £200 per year.
The Reverend Beverley Hollings, who took the service, said: "People just admired her for her determination for keeping going in those conditions."
The recent cold snap is taking its toll on Yorkshire's water pipes - with 400 burst pipes in Leeds in the last three months alone.
Over Yorkshire 1,100 leaks on the water system were repaired in just December - a record according to Yorkshire Water.
The freezing weather causes underground pipes to contract and thaw, resulting in leaks or bursts occurring which are then fixed.
Yorkshire Water say they have a team of 200 "leakage inspectors" using drones, "acoustic ears" and even satellites to find leaks.
Quote MessageThe prolonged freezing weather has led to a spike in our repair work, but we are committed in the long term to reducing our leakage rate by 40% by 2025."
