She said: 'It doesn't help having to wait but the kids have an unbelievable amount of strength and they only get that from their beautiful mum.'

Ms McNally ran Morbid Angel Tattoo Studio in Kilnhurst, Rotherham, having trained as an artist three years ago.

She leaves seven children.

Tammy added: 'She was just amazing. She made everyone around her laugh and there wasn't one dull moment even though she was struggling.

'She liked to help others '“ it just came natural to her.

'A prank without Emma around will never be the same. People used to call us the terrible twosome because when together we cause havoc but these are the memories we all have.'

The family has launched a fundraising appeal to help pay Ms McNally's funeral costs and Tammy said any leftover money would be used to give the children a '˜treat'.

It has raised more than £1,600 in just a few days.

Ms McNally grew up in the Darnall, Wybourn and Manor areas of Sheffield before moving to Rotherham.
