A fearless teenage girl has tragically passed away just a week after kicking cancer.
Molly Hinchliffe, 18, became ill with an infection as a result of her immune system being compromised after she successfully completed chemotherapy.
The UK native then caught sepsis which subsequently made her organs shut down, a good friend of hers has detailed, The Mirror said.
Molly, from Batley, West Yorkshire, died in hospital, in the company and surrounded by her loving and heartbroken family. She was described by Pal Courtney Thompson as a "beautiful angel" with a "heart of gold".
Stating on a GoFundMe page seeking funding for Molly's funeral, Ms Thompson revealed that Molly had just beaten cancer.
"She finished her last round of chemo and has been poorly due to her immune system being low, she then caught sepsis and her organs gave up on her. Myself and Molly's family and my family would appreciate the help to raise money for her funeral," she said on the crowdfunding website.
She added: "We’re all absolutely heartbroken and hurting so much. She is such a beautiful angel. May she rest in paradise."
She told YorkshireLive that her best friend had a "heart of gold" but wouldn't have been afraid of telling a friend off if they were out of line.
"When I first met Molly we were only little and from the moment I met her, she acted herself and I knew I was going to get on with her and be her friend/sister for life, she was so bubbly, loud, and such a funny girl," Courtney said.
She added that her friend did not have a filter and that all of us need a Molly in our lives.
Courtney described her as "strong."
She also spoke about her family constantly and how much they meant to her, telling Courtney that she loved her siblings, her older brother, and two youngest sisters, who loved her back dearly.
"She was also worried about her little sisters losing her big sister one day," she said.
The 18-year-old is also deeply missed by her boyfriend.
Courtney said: "She always told me how he made her feel special and how much she loved that boy.
"He adored her as much as she did and they were meant for each other, for sure. She loved doing all sorts of things, anything would please Mol."
Molly had a great love of rugby, picking up the sport from a very young age. She was loved by the entire team at Dewsbury Moor, as well as in her workplace.
Courtney admitted that everyone had been left devastated following her death.
"We are all so distraught and can’t come to terms with what has happened. I honestly feel like I’ve lost my baby sister and that breaks me, no more random calls or messages or her asking to go on a drive to Krispy Kreme or her randomly coming to our house for our food and to ask my mum where her tea was," she said.
Courtney said it "hurt her so much" that her best friends was gone.
One friend described Molly as "the most caring and beautiful soul" while another said: "Dewsbury Moor lost one of the most loved, sweetest most caring girls that graced this earth."
