Sarah Dooley from Mountmellick was the county's nomination for the award.
A Laois mum has been crowned as the Family Carer of the Year.
Mountmellick's Sarah Dooley is a mother of four boys, two of whom, John and Patrick, are autistic and non-verbal, while her son Cathal has been undergoing treatment for leukaemia for the past three years.
Family Carers Ireland says she's being recognised for her tireless campaigning for school places while putting her career on hold to work as a full time carer for her children.
Meanwhile 16 year old Shannon Egan from Athlone has won Leinster Young Carer of the Year.
The Westmeath teenager cares for her sister Alanna who has Koolen de Vries Syndrome and requires daily assistance.
Sarah Dooley says she doesn't think a new Government will be able to catch up on the support the care sector needs:
