Gill's courage and strength in fighting breast cancer was truly humbling. She refused to let it define or defeat her, and despite the arduous chemotherapy treatments, she still found the determination to complete multiple marathons, including the London Marathon in an incredible 'good for your age' time.

As a loving wife and mummy, her family was the centre of her world, and as an inspirational English teacher, she touched the lives of so many with her passion, kindness and belief in others. Gill leaves a legacy that will live on forever in the hearts of all who knew her. x
