Hide AdTrevor Weeks, founder and operations director at WRAS, said, “Our thoughts are with her husband Brian and daughters Kirsty and Claire who have been so lovingly taking care of her during this difficult time.
“Monica worked behind the scenes at WRAS, and performed many roles.
“Her biggest role was hand rearing baby mammals especially hedgehogs and fox cubs.
“She would often be up through the night to feed the babies, who when very small are often in need of being fed every couple of hours.
