Tributes paid to mum who died in A27 crash
Cheryl Brooks' family say she had "so many people who loved her"
The family of a "kind-hearted and caring woman" who died in a crash on the A27 last month have paid tribute to her.
Cheryl Brooks, 35, was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash at Pevensey, after the white Ford Fiesta ST she was a passenger in left the road and overturned.
Her family – father William, brother Billy, 19-year-old daughter Bethany and 17-year-old son Liam – described her as a special woman.
They said: “Cheryl was very kind-hearted, caring and loving. She was always there for people and would always put others before herself.
“She was a very special and loved member of the family and she kept us all together. We were so close and the bond between us will never be broken.
“Cheryl rarely had time for herself as she was always doing things for other people. She cared for her son Liam and when her dad was ill, she never left his side. She adored her grandchildren – three-year-old Esme and 18-month-old Brody – and was forever buying them things.
“She loved to sing and dance – she was a livewire. And she was a great cook. Christmas was her favourite time but she celebrated every occasion, always putting decorations up around the house.
“Cheryl had quite a difficult life but she came out a fighter and ended up achieving a lot. She was really happy. We had holidays booked and plans for the future, but she’s going to miss out on so much now.
“She has left behind a big hole in our lives and she will never be replaced. We are totally heartbroken at how her life has been taken and this is something we will never get over.”
Police are still investigation the crash and are asking any witnesses or anyone with dashcam footage of the area between Falmer and Pevensey between 6.45pm and 7.30pm on July 9 to come forward.
