A family have paid tribute to an "extraordinary mum" found dead in a river.
Janet Edwards from Tillington, Herefordshire, vanished on December 10 last year triggering a massive search.
Her body was found three months later in the River Wye in Ross-on-Wye on March 10.
The 66-year-old's family thanked everyone for their support before her funeral on Wednesday.
Birmingham Live reports they said: "Janet was a wonderful and extraordinary mother, partner and friend.
"She had a long career as a nurse, in which she was sincerely valued and respected by colleagues and her patients. She will be dearly missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
"We would like to convey our heartfelt thanks to all those who helped in the search for Janet, and have supported us since her tragic disappearance.
"The investigation and searches conducted by the police were exceptionally thorough and extensive, and were clearly undertaken with great proficiency.
"We are also overwhelmingly grateful for the efforts of friends and the members of the public who volunteered to assist with searches.
"Importantly, we thank and applaud the West Midlands Search and Rescue Service, whose volunteers are highly skilled and devote their weekends to carrying out this often dangerous work.
"Their dedication and bravery is nothing short of heroic."
West Mercia Police said: "The family would like to ensure that all who have assisted, paid tribute, and expressed their kindness and support during this difficult time are able to attend Janet’s funeral.
"Therefore, the family have asked West Mercia Police to release that the funeral will take place on Wednesday 6 April at 2pm at St Nicholas’ Church in Hereford."
The keen runner was last seen near Beechwood Court on Venns Lane, Hereford, at around 3pm on December 10.
CCTV images captured her wearing a green Rab jacket, blue jeans, and casual brown boots with a white trim and sole.
Detective Chief Inspector Emma Whitworth said at the time: "We know there has been a huge amount of hope in finding Janet safe and well, and we are deeply saddened by this outcome.
"I would like to express my thanks to the community for all of their support with our search for Janet over the past three months.
"Our thoughts go out to Janet's family and friends as this very difficult time."
