A ‘much-loved’ mother-of-three tragically passed away under mysterious circumstances leaving her family ‘heartbroken’.
Bethany Wooldridge, aged 27, died eight days before Christmas leaving behind three ‘devastated’ young children and her husband.
The former West Midlands Police officer and call handler for West Midlands Ambulance Service, known as ‘Bee’ by her friends, collapsed at home on December 17.
Her husband Josh Wooldridge and their children Tommy, four, Lylah, seven, and Alyssia, 10, had just moved into their ‘dream home’ in Worfield, near Bridgnorth, in Shropshire, in January.
The death remains ‘unexplained’ and an inquest into the circumstances has been opened and adjourned.

A fundraiser has now been set up by her sister Tory to help the family ‘during this life changing and heart breaking time’ as well as contribute to funeral costs.
The appeal reads: ‘Beth was the absolute best thing in our lives and we all absolutely adored her.
