A fundraising campaign has also been set up to pay for a holiday for Amy’s daughter.

Funding organiser Kory King said “Amy was widely known in her community for having the most beautiful smile and the biggest personality any one person could have, she was loved and adored by many and always will be.

“With a heavy heart, Amy left a gorgeous little girl behind who was never far from her side - her double to carry her amazing personality forward.”
