Labour MP Margaret Hodge and her family have paid tribute to her “beautiful” daughter-in-law who was killed by a car while out running.
Mother-of-three Rachel Watson, 43, died after being hit as she took a morning jog near her home in Leeds on February 4.
She suffered life-threatening injuries and was rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead later that day.
In a statement, her family said they were “completely devastated”, adding: “Rachel was beautiful, warm, generous and kind – nothing was too much trouble for her family or her friends.
“She also had a great sense of fun and would light up any gathering.
“All those who knew Rachel will share our sadness at her tragic death, which came far too young, but she will be particularly missed by Nick, her husband, and the children.”
Police are appealing for witnesses to the collision which took place on a ring road in Moortown.
Barking MP Mrs Hodge, 72, declined to comment.
