Brother Andy Norris paid tribute to his sister, telling the Derbyshire Times: "Laura didn't have much but whatever she did have, she shared with others.

"She worked hard and adored her children. She was caring, thoughtful and just so kind. A really bubbly and generous person.

"We are a close family and taking each day as it comes. We are just trying to cope as best we can."

More tributes have flooded in for Laura, who worked part-time at a pub and volunteered as a teaching assistant, on social media.
