The tribute added Ms Witts would be dearly missed and was the "glue that held people together".

"Emily was the sunshine in our lives and made the world a better place with her sparkle.

"If Emily loved you then you certainly knew about it, she would help anyone that needed it, anytime, anywhere.

"She rescued plants, cats and fish that were dying or unwell, nursing them back to health and never giving up on any living thing that she welcomed into her home."
