The family of Josephine Marie Kelley, who died following a car crash on Boxing Day, have paid tribute to a ‘kind and generous soul’ who will be ‘infinitely missed’.

The 19 year-old, who lived in Newcastle Emlyn, died at Glangwili Hospital on December 29.

Her young daughter Cora Lynn was airlifted to the Heath Hospital, Cardiff, following the collision.

A statement issued by her family said: “Josie was a caring sister, a cherished daughter, a loyal friend and a devoted mother.

“She was the most kind and generous soul who loved and looked after everyone and brought joy and brightness to all the lives she touched.

“She will be infinitely missed but will live on in the hearts of all those who loved her, and in her beautiful daughter, Cora Lynn.

“Please join us to celebrate her life at Narberth Crematorium on Thursday, January 9, at 11.30am.”

Senior Coroner for Ceredigion, Peter Brunton, has opened and adjourned an inquest.

No other vehicle was involved in the collision, and police say there are no suspicious circumstances.
