Mum dies on wedding day to teenage sweetheart weeks after cancer diagnosis

Mum-of-two Helen Felvus was planning to wed her partner David after 44 years together and brought the date forward after her shock diagnosis.

The couple quickly moved forward the ceremony and decided to tie the knot at home surrounded by friends and family.

But Helen, 61, tragically died just hours after saying “I do” on her special day with heartbroken husband David saying “she was a beautiful soul”.

Their daughter Robyn Haynes, 37, described Helen as “my superwoman, my best friend, my angel in the sky”.

She said: “Mum never went to the doctors or hospital. We thought it was a kidney infection.

Helen started to develop a sharp stabbing pain to her right-hand side, but the family believed it was a problem with her kidneys.

The grandmother spoke to her doctor before jetting off on holiday with long-term partner David Felvus, 60, in Tenerife in July.

But the family said her condition deteriorated during the trip and she came home to be diagnosed with bowel and liver cancer.

Robyn took her mum to hospital when she got back from holiday on July 14 and she was admitted.
