Tributes to ‘amazing and inspiring’ Preston mum Hollie Dring who has died aged 36

Paying tribute, her heartbroken family, including dad Paul Dring said: “Hollie was the life and soul of every gathering she went to. She had one of those infectious personalities where she could say she made a new friend every week! But they always did remain friends.

"It was in Mauritius where she was accepted lovingly by her stepmother Christina’s extended family, and had so many amazing experiences embracing the Mauritian culture.Hollie Dring was diagnosed with breast cancer in March 2021 and sadly died on August 31, 2022, aged 36 Hollie discovered a lump in her breast whilst playing with her son Theo, and underwent a mastectomy and chemotherapy. She was given the all-clear in October 2021, but was found to have secondary cancer in July, 2022. She was admitted to hospital in August before returning home, and spent her final days surrounded by her loved ones at St Catherine’s Hospice in Lostock Hall

"She knew her friends and colleagues would make sure she was comfortable and peaceful, and the St Catherine’s family certainly made sure of that. More than £4,000 has been donated to St Catherine’s in this way, with many of Hollie’s friends also planning fundraising events for the hospice in her honour.Her family said: “Hollie’s legacy will be her son Theo who turned three this September, just 20 days after she died. He will grow up to know just how amazing and inspiring she was.
