THE family of a Baildon woman who died in a collision at the Coniston Hotel, Coniston Cold, near Skipton, at the weekend have today described her as a "beautiful person" and a devoted wife, mother and grandmother.
North Yorkshire Police has named Judith Barbara Wadsworth as the pedestrian who died in a collision with a Range Rover at the hotel on Friday evening at just after 5.25pm.
The driver of the Range Rover that collided with her – a man in his 60s – was arrested and later released under investigation while police enquiries continue.
Mrs Wadsworth was 66 and lived in Baildon. A police spokesman said she sadly died at the scene.
In a statement, Mrs Wadsworth’s family said: “Judith was a beautiful selfless person and no words can express our sense of loss and devastation right now.
“She was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother who will be missed by everyone who knew her.
“We’re still struggling to come to terms with her death as a family, and we’d urge the media to respect our privacy at this very difficult time.”
Mrs Wadsworth’s family is currently being supported by specially-trained officers from North Yorkshire Police.
