The family of a north-east woman, who was killed in a car accident last month, have described her as being like “everyone’s mum”.
Ann Moore died nearly three weeks after a crash on the A952 Mintlaw to Fraserburgh road on Tuesday July 3.
The 69-year-old had been airlifted to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary, following the collision, but succumbed to her injuries.
She was one of several people who lost their lives on north-east roads during one of the most tragedy-littered months in recent memory.
Mrs Moore, who lived in the Lonmay area, was driving her white Morris Minor when it collided with a silver Renault van.
Her family said yesterday: “Ann was a loving wife, mother and grandmother.
“She was always cheerful despite health problems later on in life, everyone instantly liked her and she was everyone’s mum.
“The kettle was always on or just boiled and everyone felt at home with her. We all miss you mum, rest in peace.
“The whole Moore family would also like to warmly thank the police, ambulance crew, air ambulance, hospital staff and all the people that helped at the roadside and afterwards.”
The incident occurred around 8am on July 3.
Sergeant Stuart Lawrence from the north-east road policing unit said: “First and foremost, our thoughts at this time go out to Ann’s family and friends.
“I would ask anyone with information who hasn’t yet come forward to contact Police Scotland on 101.”
The A952 was shut in both directions for two hours following the crash.
A police spokeswoman said at the time: “We got a call at about 8am and the road was reopened at around 9.50am.
“It was a two-vehicle accident with a white Morris Minor and Renault van.”
An air ambulance and three ambulance vehicles were also called to the scene.
