Following Shanice’s death, her family released a heartfelt tribute, in which they described her as a one of a kind, who will be “missed by all who were lucky enough to know and love her."

They added: “Shanice had the biggest heart and the kind of energy you could never forget.

“She was a deeply loved daughter, granddaughter, niece, cousin, friend and godmother, as well as being an amazing mum to her son, who meant the world to her. To her cousins, she was more like a sister – someone they could always turn to for love, laughter and support.

“Shanice was also due to graduate from university, a reflection of her determination, ambition and the bright future ahead of her.

“She could light up every room she walked in to with her infectious laugh, beautiful soul and magical aura. Shanice made people feel loved, safe and valued simply by being herself.”
