Victoria Ayers died on the 12th of July after losing her battle, as the cancer had spread to her kidney, pelvis and stomach.
Victoria started feeling quite ill in the December of 2019 and began to rapidly lose weight in the run-up to the Christmas of that year. She was later diagnosed with stage 3 cervical cancer and required emergency treatment to attempt to save her life.
Her chances of survival were just 30-50 percent, but amazingly she was given the all-clear in the April of 2020. Victoria then decided to take on a charity walk to Wales in a bid to raise funds to spend some quality time with her children.
As March 2021 came around, her condition had begun to deteriorate rapidly once again and the cancer had begun spreading to other organs in her body. Victoria’s family were restricted as to when they could see her because of the Covid pandemic, which struck at almost exactly the same time.
Chris, Victoria’s cousin, was devastated by this as she was also becoming too frail to visit. Victoria managed to spend her 37th birthday with her children, just one week before she passed away. Her funeral took place in Conwy County on the 17th of July, and her children are now under the care of her mother and stepfather.
Victoria’s cousin stated:
“We are all just completely heartbroken by what happened. Victoria was too young, and too good.
“Vickie was a fun-loving mum, she was the life and soul of the party. She was very happy all of the time. Her kids were her life, she would do everything for her.
“We’ll always remember her, no one will ever forget her.
“I will remember her as being a happy, beautiful and good mum.”
