In a statement, her family wrote: “It’s hard to keep Jean Kitchen’s life and stories within a short paragraph as you could so easily write a book. She was born in Oldham in 1934.

“She took on the career of nurse/midwife and health visitor in her 40s. It was something she absolutely loved and she was immensely passionate about helping others throughout her whole life.

“I think, however, she’d admit the greatest achievement of her life was marrying the love of her life, Jim Kitchen, who sadly passed away in 2015.

“Their long life together was filled to the brim with adventures all around the world - they loved to travel and left their mark wherever they went.

“Jean was the most amazing mum, grandma, great grandma, aunt and friend that anyone could ask for and she will leave a great void that can never be filled.

“As a family, we would like to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the support we’ve been given - to all the police, ambulance service, air ambulance and the passers-by that were there to help during her accident, and thank you to everyone for their messages, cards and kind words.

“Everyone that had met Jean had a story to tell about her, which just shows how larger than life she really was.

“We’ll hold all the memories in our hearts wherever we go. She was one in a million, and we were so very lucky to have her. She will be missed so greatly, by so many.”

North Wales Police are appealing for anyone who was a witness to or has information about the crash to contact the force.

If you can help, please contact the force’s Serious Collision Investigation Unit (SCIU) online or by calling 101, quoting reference number 24000553728.

Detective Sergeant Katie Davies, of the SCIU said: “Our thoughts remain with Jean Kitchen’s family and friends at this extremely difficult time.

“We continue to investigate the circumstances of this incident and I am appealing to anybody who may have witnessed the collision or who has information, who is yet to speak to us, to contact our team.”
