Tragedy of hard-working mum who 'devoted her life' to The Range
manchestereveningnews.co.ukRebecca Evans 'devoted her life' to her job at The Range. But following her tragic death aged 35, her family say the £2bn chain has abandoned her family by not offering a vital payout to help her partner and two young boys.
Rebecca, known as Becky, died on Sunday, May 5, a month after initially experiencing 'stomach pains'. Her family didn't wish to disclose her illness, publicly, but were left 'shocked' by her rapid decline, reports YorkshireLive.
Becky, who was a deputy-manager at The Range in Barnsley, South Yorks, for about 15 years, has left behind two boys, Evan 10, and Freddie, six, who she had with her partner Scott, a self-employed window cleaner.
Her family has said The Range is not offering a 'death in service' benefit.
