A former copytaker who worked in the south-east and Gloucestershire has died, aged 46.

Angela Robinson worked at the Kent and Sussex Courier series in Tunbridge Wells and later for the Gloucestershire Echo between 1992 and 1997 before moving to Nailsea, near Bristol.

Before that she had spent seven years in the RAF in the rank of Leading Aircraftswoman.

Her sister Veronica Jones said Angela lived life to the full and never wasted a minute of it.

She said: "She wasn't a complicated person and didn't want anything overly special.

"All she wanted was her own family around her.

"She would never sit around at home. She was always out doing something."
