A heartbroken family have paid tribute to an 'selfless' mum who died suddenly at home and was found by her own daughter.
Charlotte Fisher-Gibson, from Forest Town, Mansfield, passed away earlier this month leaving behind her three children Faith, 13, William, 11 and nine-year-old Maddison, reports Nottinghamshire Live.
Her unexpected death was discovered by Faith when she returned to the property on Friday, July 15. After quickly calling emergency services she made brave efforts to give her life-rescuing help by following paramedics' instructions over the phone, but was sadly unable to save her.
It is understood that Charlotte had died by the time her daughter reached home, though no cause of death has yet been established and the matter has been referred to the coroner.
Paying an emotional tribute to her sister, Emily Bradley, 29, said: "She was just so full of life, so bubbly, caring, loving. She just had an amazing personality and everybody loved to be around her.
"She provided a safe space if you ever needed to talk about anything, she was often the first person people would talk to.
"Her whole life was her children and she was so dedicated to being the best mum she could be. She wanted to be able to give them everything."
Charlotte's mum Maria Bough meanwhile described her as a "larger than life" personality, sharing that the phrase "you've just been Charlotte'd" was often used among her work colleagues.
"Everybody always says a person was loved after their death, but she really, truly was.", she added.
"She was an amazing, colourful, beautiful woman. If you have children, hold them close and tell them that you love them, because you never know when is going to be the last time."
Charlotte had completed a degree at the University of Derby as a mature student while looking after her three children, putting everything she could into her education, work and family.
The family have now set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for Charlotte's children, and have urged young mothers to take out life insurance if they are able to. So far more than £2,500 of the £3,000 target has been raised.
