THE SUDDEN death of a mum-of-seven has left a 'massive hole' in the lives of her family.
Tracy Parker was 52 years old and was originally from Ellesmere Port but had lived in Buckley for the last 23 years.
Her family say she died 'suddenly' and 'unexpectedly' earlier this week.
A fundraiser has now been set up to help give Ms Parker the 'send off she deserves'. It has (correct at time of writing) so far collected over £1,800.
She leaves behind her partner of over 20 years; Damien, as well as her seven children; Sophie, Ryan, Hannah, Caitlin, Liam, Logan and Alys and two grandchildren, Alexis and Ted.
A statement on the fundraising page set up by friend Katie Goulding and Ms Parker's daughter Sophie Armstrong read: "We have recently had the devastation of the sudden passing of Tracy Parker.
"Many of you that know Tracy will understand what the family have lost. The sudden passing has left a massive hole in the family, and a void that will last forever.
"With the help of the gofundme page, we will give her the send-off that she deserves. Thank you to everyone."
Her daughter Sophie added that her mum 'dedicated her life to her children'.
During her days in Ellesmere Port, she attended Whitby Heath Primary School and Whitby High School and had lived on Chester Road.
