“On Sunday 17th September, Nicola Jane Connolly tragically passed away after being involved in a road traffic collision in Cheshire.

“Nicola was a loving member of the community and the local schools. Her roles as a Classroom Assistant, Midday Assistant, and Lollipop Lady were for her, a devotion rather than a job.

“Nicola was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, auntie, and beloved friend to many. Words cannot describe how much she will truly be missed.

“We would like to thank the emergency services and members of the public for their help during the incident and ask that our privacy is respected at this this difficult time.”

Enquiries in relation to the collision remain ongoing and anyone witnessed the incident, or anyone with any dashcam footage, is asked to call Cheshire Police on 101, or visit www.cheshire.police.uk/tell-us, quoting IML- 1645787.
