A much-loved police officer of 21 years has died suddenly in her husband's arms while enjoying a holiday. Julie-Anne Forkasiewicz was 53 years old.
Julie had type two diabetes, which impacted her life, and she had been dealing with deteriorating health for the past five years. However, her cause of death has not yet been confirmed.
She was on holiday in Cumbria with husband of 29 years, Peter, who told LancsLive: “She’d be the first to break the ice in a room full of people and she had such an infectious smile and a great sense of humour. There was nothing she wouldn’t do for me and it was never too much trouble.”
