Tragic Crash Claims Life of Teen Leonie Jones in Crawley
The family of 18-year-old Leonie Jones have paid a moving tribute after she died in a smash in Gossops Green, Crawley.
Leonie lost her life in a collision on Dormans in the early hours of April 25. The devastating news has left her loved ones heartbroken.
Family’s Heartbreaking Tribute
Leonie’s mum, Carmel Richards, spoke on behalf of the family, saying:
“Leonie will be dearly missed by all of her family and friends and will forever hold a place in our hearts. Her infectious laugh and beaming smile will stay with us forever. She always had a sparkle in her beautiful blue eyes. Leonie was so bright, bubbly and had so many plans for her future. She wanted to travel and become a beautician to run her own business. She always went that extra mile to support her friends and family in times of need. Her friends have said she always checked in on them to make sure they were okay. Leonie had no idea how well liked she was and I hope she is looking down now to see how missed and loved she truly will be.”
