Woman struck by car 'had heart of gold'
Family handoutA woman who died after being struck by a car in Morecambe had "a heart of gold", her family has said.
Sarah Joanne Theobald died following the collision on Regent Road shortly before 20:30 GMT on 11 March, Lancashire Police said.
The 41-year-old had lived in the town until she was nine with her mum before moving to Ashton-under-Lyne to live with her dad, step-mum, brothers and sister.
She returned to Morecambe when she was 19, where she met her partner who she was with for 22 years.
'Sadly missed'
Paying tribute her family said: "Sarah will be remembered as the fun loving, kind, caring person she was, protective of those she loved, and who was the life and soul of any gathering.
"She had many friends from different times in her life, but they all agree on one thing - Sarah had a heart of gold and would do anything for the people she cared about.
"She will be sadly missed by all who loved her, and all who were loved by her."
Police are continuing to appeal for information following the collision between the Vauxhall Astra and Ms Theobald, who was a pedestrian.
