Brianna Ghey’s family has paid tribute to their “beloved daughter, grandchild, and younger sister.”
Saturday at 3.13 p.m., the 16-year-old from Birchwood, Warrington, Cheshire, was discovered by members of the public lying injured on a path in Linear Park, Culcheth.
In a statement, her family stated, “She was a larger-than-life personality who left an indelible mark on all who encountered her. Brianna was attractive, clever, and funny. Brianna was courageous, courageous, and one-of-a-kind”.
The loss of her young life has left a tremendous void in our family. And we are certain that her instructors and friends will feel the same.
During this difficult time, we would like to thank everyone for their support and kind thoughts.
