The married mother-of -three, Mrs Tomlinson, was told in 2000 her metastatic breast cancer was incurable and that she had just six months to live. Everyone who knew her felt there was an invincibility about her, but we always knew that this day was inevitable.
She then dedicated her life to raising money for cahrity, going on to complete ₤1.75m in a charitable services. In June 2006 she set off on her toughest fundraising challenge, cycling 4.200miles across the US. Following the nine-week bike ride, which was gruelling challenge, however, she was too ill to take part then she decided to spend more time with her family.
'We hope she is now at pease from the pain that has accompanied her for so long.' Her husband and children said:'We are, as a family, heartbreaken at this loss' , but' honoured to have been blessed with such a wonderful person.'
Her family said they remained committed to continuing her work for the charities she supported.
