Eileen Kelly died in a crash near Maulds Meaburn

Tributes have been paid to a much-loved woman who died following a crash last week.

Cumbria Constabulary named Eileen Kelly as the victim of a crash that happened between a car and a van close to Maulds Meaburn on Wednesday.

The 68-year-old, from Crosby Ravensworth, was well known in the community and will be "deeply missed", police say.

Officers have thanked those who helped at the scene.

A spokesman for the force said Eileen, the former partner of Harold Metcalfe, was "loved dearly" by sons Darren and Robert.

'Liked playing bingo'

She was a carer for Robert, who is disabled, and most recently worked as a mid-day supervisor at Morland Primary School.

The spokesman added: "Eileen was well known by the local community and surrounding areas, and had liked playing bingo in her spare time."

Eileen died in hospital after her Ford Fusion was involved in a crash with a Ford Transit van at about 10:55 GMT on 29 November.

Anyone with information about the crash is asked to contact Cumbria Constabulary.
