Family pays tribute to 'loving, kind warrior princess' who died 18 months after devastating diagnosis
The family of a mum-of-one from Cheshire who passed away 18 months after receiving a devastating cancer diagnosis have described her as a ‘warrior princess’ and a ‘source of inspiration’.
Her family said in a statement: "Affectionately known as the 'Warrior Princess', Mary was a source of inspiration and joy for all who had the privilege of knowing her. Mary's journey began in the loving arms of her parents, Fran and Alison, who provided the foundation of strength and support that allowed her to flourish into the remarkable person she became alongside her brothers Christopher and Matthew.
"However, fate had other plans, tragically cutting short the vibrant life that lay ahead for Mary. Undeterred, she faced her battles with unwavering strength, fighting like a true warrior alongside her husband, family, and closest friends. "Colleagues remember her as a dedicated professional, always willing to lend a helping hand and brighten their day with her infectious smile. She was a cherished cousin, niece, and friend - a beacon of love and kindness in the lives of many."
They said: "It is a beautiful testament to her desire to spread joy and remind us all to live life to the fullest. As the community bids farewell to Mary, they remember her as a princess, daughter, sister, wife, mother, cousin, niece, friend, and colleague. Another statement from the family read: "Family wish to express their appreciation to the doctors and nurses of NHS and a special thank you to the wonderful caring staff at Halton Haven Hospice, as a family we are more grateful to you than you'll ever know. We will never forget your support and kindness. Mary forever young."
