Tributes have been paid to an "amazing" mum and "lovely" dad who have tragically died within weeks of each other - leaving behind their 10-year-old son, two grown-up daughters and two adult sons.

Jill Skivington, 46, and her partner of 15 years Gary Armstrong, 49, have been remembered for being dedicated to their children and each other.

Jill lost her life last Thursday (May 12) after suffering a heart attack and a catastrophic stroke four weeks after Gary passed away following a cardiac arrest, reports ChronicleLive.

The couple leave behind their son Alfie, who has autism, as well as Jill's daughters Katy, 21, and Ellie, 22, who saw Gary as their father, and Gary's two twin sons from a previous relationship, Tom and Dean, 23.
