THE family of a 25-year-old woman, who died suddenly just days before Christmas, will today say their goodbyes.
Michaela Marie Haines, originally from Pembroke, was found dead at a property in Tenby in the early hours of December 23.
A funeral service for the "vivacious" and "inspiring" Pembrokeshire College student, who had dreams of becoming a mental health nurse, will take place in Pembroke this afternoon (Tuesday).
Described as a “happy, bubbly girl with a heart of gold,” Michaela’s family are at a loss as to the reasons for her death, and have appealed publicly for information relating to her final days and hours.
The funeral service will take place at St Mary's Church, Pembroke, at 1.30pm, followed by cremation at Parc Gwyn at 3.15pm.
Afterwards, there will be a chance to raise a glass in memory of Michaela at Monkton Swifts Social Club.
If desired, personal tributes may be sent to Messrs. W & M J Rossiter and Sons funeral directors, The Old Rectory, The Norton, Tenby, SA70 8AB.
