Following the tragedy, her devastated family launched a GoFundMe campaign with a target of £10,000 to facilitate the repatriation of her remains and those of her unborn daughter to the UK for burial.

Her sister, Shannon, said the family wanted both of them brought home so they could be laid to rest with dignity and surrounded by their loved ones.

Shannon also described her late sister as a strong-minded woman who lived life on her own terms and left a lasting impression on everyone she encountered.
