Woman who died on M6 near Preston to get 'funeral she deserves' after nearly £4,500 raised

The mum-of-five lived in Catterall.

Police and paramedics were called to where the motorway passes through Barnacre at around 3.25pm on April 23. Mandy Holmes, 50, was sadly pronounced dead at the scene. The mum-of-five, who used to run her own business called Mandy’s Home Help, went to school in Garstang and lived in Catterall. Family friend Tracy Davies launched a JustGiving page to help support Mandy’s husband Bob with funeral expenses. More than 260 people donated to the page, raising over £4,400 for the family.

“As friends, family, and compassionate strangers, we have the chance to lighten the load during this dark time. “Your donation, no matter the size, will directly contribute to covering the costs of Mandy's funeral, offering Bob some relief as he navigates this profound sorrow. 'Let's stand together with Bob, showing him that he is not alone in his grief. Your kindness and generosity will make a meaningful difference in his journey towards healing.
