An influential woman who was "always standing up for what she believed in" died two days before her birthday.
Laura Donovan-Hall, 34, died from brain cancer on October 30 at Woodlands Hospice in Fazakerley with her family by her bedside. Laura first fell ill in August after she suddenly suffered from a seizure at her home in Bootle and was rushed to A&E.
Laura's husband David Hall, 36, told the ECHO: "It was very sudden and very unexpected. They found a growth in her brain and the consultant took a look at it and said it doesn't look too bad, 'it looks like we can do something about this.' So she went in for brain surgery."
