Dawn Holbutt, of Arnolds Mead, Corsham died on January 8 aged 39 after losing her battle with spine cancer.
She was born in Cyprus in 1968 where her father was serving with the RAF, but the family soon moved back to Wiltshire, settling in Corsham.
On leaving boarding school, Mrs Holbutt worked as a sales rep for The Avon in Melksham, a job she loved.
Mrs Holbutt, who divorced in 1999, liked to travel, particularly after being diagnosed with cancer. She visited her older brother Mark, 44, in Cyprus, where he is serving in the Armed Forces and her younger brother Wayne who lives in New York.
She was also very close to her older sister Hayley, who lived opposite her home in Corsham, and her niece Daniella, 18.
She enjoyed playing bingo at Rudloe Community Centre and would often play Gala bingo in Bath. She was also a keen darts league player.
