FAMILY members of a woman who died following a fatal crash in Bronington last week have paid tribute.

North Wales Police confirmed 48-year-old Tracey Pritchard died on Friday following a two-car collision on the A495.

In a statement, her family said: “From growing up in and around the Whitchurch area, and attending Sir John Talbots Secondary School, Tracey was a very well-known Whitchurch girl.

“Tracey, whom was a former Whitchurch Carnival Queen, then later moved to Coton before settling in West Felton. Tracey ran her own domestic cleaning business in the West Felton and Oswestry area.

“She was well known and loved in the local horse community, was a popular member of the Oswestry riding club and particularly enjoyed carriage driving and attending pony club.”

Her family describe Tracey as “a generous, kind and loving woman” who was ‘dearly loved’ and will be ‘dearly missed’.

They also thank the emergency services at the scene of the accident and staff at The Royal Stoke University Hospital, whose actions allowed Tracey’s immediate family to spend two valuable days with her before she sadly passed away.

The family also said: “Tributes for Tracey have flowed in on Facebook from friends and family and have particularly mentioned her kindness and generosity. Her generous nature has been shown through her wish to be an organ donor.

“From opting in to organ donating, Tracey has already helped save the lives of three other people, including a baby.

“Tracey was very much family orientated and was a much-loved and adored mother, daughter, sister, auntie, niece, partner and friend, who will be dearly missed by all those who truly loved her.”

North Wales Police continue to appeal for witnesses to the collision involving a BMW X3, a Daihatsu Sirion and a horse, which happened on Tuesday at about 7.31pm on the A495 at Bronington, near Whitchurch.

Anybody with information that could assist the investigation is asked to contact officers at the Roads Policing Unit on 101 or via the live web chat quoting reference number X023583.
