Egle Vengaliene, who was 35 and from Bury Road, has been described as someone who "radiated optimism" by her family.
They said: "She was loving, caring and devoted to her family, radiating optimism, cheerfulness and positive energy and believing in her family's bright future.
"She leaves behind five of her children, who will have to grow up without their mother's love and will always long and mourn their mother.
"Protect your children from heaven and rest in peace."
The body of Egle Vengaliene was found in a pond in Brandon Country Park shortly before 7am on Friday 9th April.
