Devon funeral notices: Tributes as Exeter woman dies in tragic holiday accident

The family of Exeter woman Jodie O'Reilly, who died in a crash while on holiday in Vietnam, have paid tribute to the 31-year-old. They say she will be remembered as a "much loved" daughter, "fun, loving" sister and a "cool" auntie.

The heartfelt message is among more than 70 left to lost loved ones from Devon in this week's death and funeral notices. We publish the announcements every week as is a longstanding tradition in local news. Last week, the family Torquay's 'TV Man' Peter Gayton said he would be remembered for his love and kindness.

Funeral notices, along with acknowledgements and in memoriams, first appear on funeral-notices.co.uk, where they remain online permanently and offer a space to add tributes, photos and donations.
