Tragedy struck in Denbigh when a freak accident led to the heartbreaking loss of Celia Adams, 81. A routine trip to the GP took a devastating turn when Celia was accidentally hit by her son Ian’s car at the Bronffynnon Surgery parking lot. Despite rushing her to hospital, Celia sadly passed away 10 days later.
Celia, a devoted mum, grandma, and great-grandma, had osteoporosis and was just trying to steady herself after a fall when the tragedy occurred. Ian didn’t realise she was in harm’s way when he reversed his Range Rover, leading to this unimaginable event. A coroner later ruled her death as accidental.
Family and friends remember Celia as the heart of the family—an angel who spread kindness and love. She had a zest for life, once working as a bacteriologist and later running a beloved Royal Doulton shop. Her passion extended to rescuing dogs and providing a nurturing home to many.
Her family have asked for privacy to mourn this tremendous loss, recalling her as the “glue” of their home. Celia’s warmth, compassion, and loving spirit touched everyone she met. Her passing leaves an irreplaceable void in the hearts of those who knew her.
In heartfelt tributes, she’s remembered as the “kindest, sweetest woman,” whose legacy of love and care will endure. Let’s hold space for Celia’s family during this difficult time and remember the joy and warmth she brought into the world. 💔
