After DNA tests, Danica's body was exhumed on Wednesday, and Anita was buried at a private funeral in her hometown of Newtownbutler at a private service yesterday morning.
Two men in their 20s also lost their lives in the crash, which happened just outside Lisnaskea at around 3.30am on Sunday morning.
They were Jonathan McDonald, 21, from Newtownbutler and Peter Leonard, 21, from Lisnaskea, who were both buried earlier in the week.
Six people were in the car at the time of the crash, and police have revealed that the four victims were all back-seat passengers when the vehicle left the road and struck a tree on the Moorlough Road.
