A fundraising page has been set up in memory of a nurse from Bangor who has died at the age of 26.

 

Trisha Roberts was a qualified nurse who worked at Ysbyty Gwynedd and more recently as a Trauma and Orthopaedic Nursing Sister at the New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton.

The Go-Fund-Me page has been set up by her sister Tammy Lou to help with the funeral costs, following Trisha’s death on 24 February.

A statement on the fundraising page said: “At this sad and emotion filled time, this page has been set up to help reduce the pressure on the family. This fund is to assist with the costs of the funeral and to make donations, in the name of Trisha.

“Sadly on the 24th February 2021 Trisha Roberts passed away due to mental health issues and combined pressure of the Covid pandemic. She was only 26 she was inspirational to all who met her.

“It has come as a great shock to the family as well as her friends and colleagues, regardless of how many times you met her, she left a lasting impression. She was a bubbly, energetic, enthusiastic and loving personality.

“She was loved very much by all and was a very determined and hard worker, she would always be there to help in any way she could.

“Trisha would go above and beyond to help and be there in your hour of need. She was and always will be our hero. A hero not only to her family but to the NHS the gaping hole she has left in our hearts, mind and in life will never be filled.

“Trisha was amazing daughter and sister to my mother, brother and myself.

“She was an amazing auntie to her nephews and niece she was loved very much by her partner Paul and planned on getting married in New York.

“The void now residing in both hospitals from which Trisha had worked so hard will never be done her way. Her more recent work upon the Trauma and orthopaedic wards at new cross hospital was a task no one enjoyed but Trisha struggled as did the NHS employees throughout the county. She often told us, with tear filled eyes that she held the hands of these who unfortunately succumbed to the Covid virus and was often the last person they saw.”
