An 80-year-old woman who died in a car crash on New Year’s Day was a nurse who had devoted her life to saving people.
Phyllis Eva Mable Brown, from Ashford, was on her way to work at St Martin’s Hospital in Canterbury when her car crashed into a parked vehicle on Whitstable Road, on the outskirts of the city, early last Thursday morning.
Her devastated family believe Mrs Brown, who worked with mental health patients, was taken ill at the wheel in the moments before the crash.

Her only child Jennifer, who was celebrating her 50th birthday the day her mother died, is flying from her home in Australia to the UK.

Close friend Desmond Limpus added: “My wife and I knew her very well and she was the most caring, kind and giving lady you could imagine that ever walked this earth.
