The family of an 18-year-old who died following a collision on the A40 at Broadoak between Carmarthen and Llandeilo, Wales, have described her as “lighting up any room she entered with her smile and personality”.
Sally Allen, of Cresswell Quay, Kilgetty, Wales, died on Wednesday, July 23 after a collision involving a red Renault Clio and Blue Audi Q5.
Allen’s family said she was an “endlessly caring, unintentionally hilarious, and the most amazing supportive and joyful person”. She was also a member of a young farmers club.
They said: “In only 18 years of her life, she touched the hearts of so many people within her community, her school, her work and social life. She was a girl who found happiness in attending Young Farmers Club, including Martletwy YFC.
“She enjoyed horse riding and her day-to-day life at home in Cresswell Quay.”
“Sally lit up any room she entered with her smile and personality. Since her death it has become apparent how much Sally was loved and cherished. Her sudden absence leaves an unfillable space in the lives so many people that knew and loved her,” the Allen family said.
Allen was a “much loved” sister to William and Issie, and a treasured daughter of Richard and Kate.
She was a beloved granddaughter to Nanna, Bamps, Nanny and Pops and was loved by all her aunties, uncles and cousins.
She had a large number of friends and was very popular with everyone who knew her.
