A41 Chester crash: Woman who died was 'devoted wife and loving mum'

Mrs Hickson's family said she had been "very well known and loved" across Upton and the Chester area

A woman who died in a two-car crash was a "devoted wife" and "loving mother" who "lived her life to the fullest", her family have said.

Jane Hickson, 57, was fatally injured in a collision on the A41 Liverpool Road in Chester on 5 November.

Paying tribute, her relatives said she was involved in many groups and "always gave more... than she took out".

Paul Wright, 31, of Ellesmere Port, has been charged with causing death by dangerous driving over the crash.

In a statement, Mrs Hickson's family said she had been "very well known and loved across the community of Upton and the Chester area".

"She had worked in the fitness industry locally for 35 years and based her fitness and Pilates business here," they said.

They said the "devoted wife" and "loving" mother, daughter and sister was involved in "many other community-based groups", including the Scouts, the local school and the Women's Institute.

"She always gave more to these organisations than she took out," they added.
