Tribute to artist who died following Shaldon collision
The family of a woman who died following a fatal collision in Shaldon have paid tribute to an artist whose bright paintings reflected her “strong, bright, intuitive and warm” personality.
Officers were called to the A379 Torquay Road in Shaldon, on Friday 3 July, at around 1.20pm, following a report of a road traffic collision involving a silver-coloured motorcycle and a pedestrian.
Sadly, 69-year-old Elizabeth Brown, nee Earley, from Taunton, Somerset, passed away at the scene.
Her family have now paid a moving tribute, describing her as a “dear friend to many”.
They said: “Liz leaves behind her children Camilla and Alastair, her partner Simon and her brother Andrew. Last year, Liz became a proud grandmother to Circe.
“Liz was an artist. She loved colour and created big bright paintings that reflect her personality: strong, bright, intuitive, and warm.
“She had a beautiful final day, spending time with Simon and her cockapoo Bertie, swimming at Ness Beach in the sunshine.
“We would like to thank everyone that has sent kind messages of support during the difficult weeks following. We will continue to remember her for the amazing woman she was every day.”
Police enquiries remain ongoing into the circumstances of the collision.
