A 'kind, generous and beautiful' headteacher died just over a week after she got married.
Sarah Peacock was diagnosed with a brain tumour two years ago after suffering with headaches and collapsing at school. She and her partner Richard Hewitson, 50, held onto the dream of having a "fantastic wedding" once her chemotherapy was over, but the cancer came back even more aggressively in autumn 2021, prompting them to move from Chester to Formby to be with her family.
In October last year, she was given six to 12 months to live when she'd previously had up to six. By January, this was reduced to four to six weeks. The couple and their friends and family jumped into gear organising a "full-on" wedding in Our Lady's Church in Lydiate.
