A much loved mum died after a trip to the opticians led to her being diagnosed with a brain tumour.
Maureen McColl died at her home in West Derby on July 2 after an eleven-month battle with an aggressive type of cancer called Glioblastoma. Maureen had been suffering from blurred vision when she went to see her optician last August, who sent her straight to A&E.
The mum-of-three, originally from Old Swan, underwent a series of scans at Aintree Hospital and a week later she was having brain surgery. Despite almost losing her sight and mobility to the disease, Maureen's son Jamie said his mum remained positive throughout her battle with stage four cancer and never complained.
