Tributes to 'fantastic mummy', 23, killed in crash as family reveal her little girl will have to grow up without her | The Sun

The GRIEVING family of a "fantastic mummy" who died in a horror car crash have paid tribute to their “fun-loving girl"

Courtney Donnelly, 23, died in a single-vehicle collision on the A427 Harborough Road at Brampton Ash, shortly after 11.20pm on Sunday, September 17.

Now, her family have told of their pain in a touching statement.

It reads: “We are completely and utterly devastated.

“Courtney was such a fun-loving girl and an amazing parent to her little girl – Lily-Mae – who will sadly have to grow up without her fantastic mummy.  

“She was also a wonderful big sister to her little brother Harry and a loving daughter to her mum Mandy who is totally in shock, devasted and broken after receiving the news of losing her baby girl as she would always call her.

“Courtney would make TikToks with family and friends and just loved being a mum and going on outings with her little girl to fun places. She also enjoyed spending time with family and friends and she loved to have her nails done – they were long but that was her totally living life and having fun.

“We are not sure if we will ever come to terms with this loss and the events of that night, but we will always make sure her memory lives on.

“Finally, we would like to say a massive thank you to everyone that has donated to her GoFundMe page – the generosity of so many has been overwhelming and we can now give her the send-off she deserves.

“We’d also like to thank everyone for their lovely messages of support and to those that have paid their respects at the place where she sadly passed away and laid flowers and candles.
