More than £1,000 has been donated in memory of a Maldon mum-of-two.

A Justgiving page was set up in memory of Laura Dale, 29, who died from meningitis on September 7 and became an organ donor.

So far, the page has attracted £1,215 donations from family, friends and well wishers.

The money will be donated to Great Ormond Street Hospital because Laura was known for her love of children and had aspired to work at the hospital.

The former Plume School pupil had also studied childcare to the highest level possible at the Friary adult community learning centre in Maldon.

She was described by her husband Jake Dale as “the most loving, fun and caring mum”.

Laura’s funeral took place on Sunday at the St Peter ad Vincula Church in Coggeshall.
