'Gorgeous' and 'irreplaceable' mum, 32, dies after falling ill at music festival

A "gorgeous" and "irreplaceable" mum has died after falling ill at a music festival.

Stephanie Thorpe, 32, was at the Restricted Forest festival at Witton Country Park in Blackburn when she fell ill. The mum was taken to Blackburn Hospital on Sunday, June 25, where she was pronounced dead.

Her devastated family and friends have now set up a GoFundMe page to support her partner, Carl, and son with funeral costs. It didn't take long for the fundraiser to exceed the £10,000 limit set, LancsLive reports.
