‘She is irreplaceable’: Husbands tribute to woman who died in A5 crash

    The husband of a woman who died in a road traffic collision in Milton Keynes has released a tribute.

    Cherryl Blackbourn, aged 65, died when the car she was travelling in was involved in a collision on the A5 near Milton Keynes on 11 August last year.

    Her husband has paid the following tribute.

    “Cherry was a much loved and respected former art teacher. Former pupils, even from the 1970s, would stop to talk with her frequently.

    “She always had a friendly greeting for people who passed by when she was gardening in front of our house.

    “I was greatly touched by the support I received from people I barely knew but were deeply saddened by her sudden death.

    “Her funeral was attended by about 130 people, greatly exceeding the capacity of the chapel.

    “To me, her husband, she is irreplaceable."

    A man has been sentenced for twelve years for driving offences in connection with the incident.
