Tragedy as ‘bubbly’ mum, 34, found dead in bed by teen daughter who she ‘idolised’
A “BUBBLY” mum-of-two was found dead in bed by her teenage daughter, her heartbroken family say.
Sarah Thompson, 34, had previously beaten cancer in her voicebox, which had left her mute for eight months.
Her heartbroken family said she was “full of life” and had been due to go to the O2 Academy in Liverpool just days before the tragedy.
Sarah was discovered by her 16-year-old daughter in bed last weekend.
A cause of death for the mum-of-two, from Connah’s Quay, North Wales, has not been revealed.
Her mum Gail said: “She was really popular and had a huge group of friends. We have had people lay lots of flowers outside the house, which shows how many people she knew.
“She absolutely loved going to concerts. There was time when I picked her up from a festival and she was there with four people she knew saying they needed a lift as well, she was always trying to help people out.
“She was due to go to one at the O2 Academy in Liverpool on Tuesday. She’d bought a new outfit for it especially.
“Sarah was a very bright woman, outgoing and bubbly. She was really generous, always lending people money when they needed it.”
The mum had struggled after undergoing surgery for cancer in 2018, Gail said.
But she “remained the best mum” to her two children, aged ten and 16, and “absolutely lived for them”.
Gail added: “It’s just such a huge shock. We can’t comprehend it, it doesn’t feel real.”
A GoFundMe has now been launched to help pay for Sarah’s funeral and help her children.
Friends Rebecca Burdis, who set up the fundraiser, said: “Sarah sadly and unexpectedly passed away on the evening of Saturday 28th September way before her time.
“She leaves behind her children.
“As we know Sarah’s children were her world and this sudden tragedy has left a massive hole in their lives.
“As a community let’s all come together to support the family as best we can.”
