A "larger than life" grandma has sadly passed away at the age of 49. Karen Linton, of Heanor, passed away on Monday, August 22, and was described by family and friends in tributes as being able to "light up any room."
Her daughter, Courtney Linton, said: "She was the fieriest person you'd ever meet in your life, she was just full of life and a really lively character. There was nobody in a room she couldn't make laugh, she was a full-on bubbly character.
"She wasn't afraid to say it how it was. My two-year-old Aurora was the apple of my mum's eye, she absolutely loved her to bits. She always said she wanted a granddaughter" reports Derbyshire Live.
