A 26-year-old woman who died after being found unresponsive in Ulverston in the early hours of Monday morning (20 Feb) has this afternoon been formally identified as Holly Lambert.

Holly lived in Ulverston and also had links to Burnley.

Holly’s family and her partner released the following tribute today:

Holly was the life and soul of the party, lighting up every room she walked into. 

She had a big heart and loved everyone as everyone who met her loved her. 

Holly was one of a kind and always made us laugh. She always had a story to tell. 

Holly will be deeply missed by all of her friends and family, especially mother Stephanie and brother Benjamin. 

Holly was the most loving and caring person; she was the best person I know. Holly was my best friend, and we were so close for the three years we were together. 

Holly and I were engaged to be married and were preparing to marry on 5th August 2023. I will miss her terribly every day. Holly I will miss you every day – Your Tigger
