The court heard how the 35-year-old had moved with her children from Scotland to Worthing after separating from their father.
Miss Devlin, who worked at Worthing Football Clubs snack shack, was due to start a new job at the probation service the day after she died.
In a statement read in court, her daughter Codie McKenna said she would never forget the date of her mothers death because it was the day before her 11th birthday. After being taken to her neighbour Bridget Bengers house, she remembered being given one of her birthday presents from her mother to play with while paramedics and police officers were in her home.
She said: It only struck me that mum was never going to come back when we were asked to pick out some clothes for her [funeral].
Miss Devlins daughter Gemma McKenna also wrote a statement which was read in court.
She said she took an instant dislike to Trigg when she met him, aged 14, in 2003, adding he was sullen and depressive and made no effort with her or her siblings.
On the day her mother died, she said she had heard loud noises coming from her mothers bedroom in the early hours of the morning, before everything went quiet.
