Murder mum ‘was treasured by her family’
A“CARING, kind and selfless” mother-of-two has been named as the victim of a suspected murder.
Elizabeth ‘Betty’ Mary Jordan, 53, was found in a critical condition at a property in Bangor on Monday morning and died in hospital shortly after.
Mrs Jordan’s children have released a tribute as detectives continue to question a 54-year-old local man arrested on suspicion of murder.
A statement issued by Mrs Jordan’s son and daughter said: “It is with the deepest regret that we announce the tragic loss of our wonderful mother, Betty. Her naturally caring, kind and selfless nature was the character trait that everyone knew her for and we as her children knew how much she doted on the two of us.
“Nothing was ever too much for mum to help anyone in need and she always refused any gesture in return. She never passed judgement and treated everyone as her own.
“She was truly loved by family, friends, work colleagues and all who had the pleasure and privilege of meeting her. We are so very proud to be able to call her our mother, best friend and biggest role model in our lives.
“She will live on in our hearts forever and we will ensure that our memories of her will live on for as long as we live.
“To our beloved Mam, we adore you, we treasure you and we appreciate all that you did to ensure that we had the best in life.
“You made a massively brave decision at such a young age to move over to Wales to ensure that we had the best in life and we will forever be grateful for all that you did for us.”
