'The world feels a less colourful place without her' say family in touching tribute after plane crash
The family of a woman from Devon who died in a light aircraft crash in Somerset last month say she was 'the foundation stone of the family and will be deeply missed by her family and friends'.
Margaret Costa, 74 from East Devon, was the sole passenger onboard the plane that crashed on agricultural land near the village of Buckland St Mary August 12.
Both she, and the male pilot, were pronounced dead at the scene.
In a touching tribute, her family said: "She was a much-loved mum and a nanny to four grandchildren. She was the foundation stone of the family and will be deeply missed by her family and friends.
"Margaret was a talented artist who was one of a few in the world who specialised in fore-edge painting (hidden watercolours found in the spine of gilt edge books).
"The world feels a less colourful place without her, but she blessed those she knew with many beautiful memories to remember her by."
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch continue to lead on enquiries into the incident.
