THE family of Yvonne Faulkner has paid tribute to a ‘much-loved grandmother and mother’ after she tragically died after a crash near Warminster.

She passed away after an incident on the A36 near Upton Scudamore on Friday (August 11).

“(She) was a much loved grandmother and mother who enjoyed life and was looking forward to her next holiday in September cruising around Iceland,” the family said.

“She was loving, kind and fiercely loyal to her family and friends.

“Her grandchildren were a tremendous source of pride to her and she enjoyed every one of their achievements.”

Her grandson Joe said: “She was a great nan and always supported me. I will always remember her and try to make her proud.”

Her son Andrew echoed those words, saying: “To lose my mother like this is such a shock but I will hold on to the many great memories I have of her and her sheer determination to enjoy life and the love she showed her family.”

A Wiltshire Police spokesperson added: “Our thoughts are with Yvonne’s family as they come to terms with their loss and we ask that their privacy is respected.”
