In a tribute from Carole’s family, they said: “Carole was a wonderful mother, grandmother, and sister. She was a kind and loving person who always put her family and loved ones before herself.

“Her love, kindness and beautiful memories will live on in all of us.

“The family would like to thank everyone who have left kind messages of condolence but please ask to respect our privacy at this very difficult time.”
