The family of a Cumbrian soldier who died suddenly said she was a precious woman, whose memory will continue to beat in their hearts.
Gunner Jaysley-Louise Beck, 19, was found dead at Larkhill military barracks on Salisbury Plain on December 15.
Jaysley’s family run the Manor House in Oxen Park, between Newby Bridge and Ulverston.
On the venue’s Facebook page, they said: “It’s with great sadness to announce that sadly on Wednesday 15th December at the tender age of 19, our beautiful daughter – Soldier Jaysley-Louise answered heaven’s calls and is now walking alongside the angels.
“She was the light in all our eyes and a precious daughter, sister, granddaughter, niece, cousin and friend to many. Her memory will continue to beat in our hearts as we mourn the loss of her.
“As gut-wrenching as this is, Jaze would want us to continue to choose happiness and as her life motto goes ‘a bottle of Zinfandel to go with it’.”
She joined the army and completed her initial training at the Army Foundation College in Harrogate, according to the Yorkshire Post.
Her family held a celebration of her life and her funeral was held on Tuesday.
They invited guests to bring a tea light candle in a jar so “we can say goodbye to the light of our life”.
The family said: “A life so beautifully lived deserves to be beautifully remembered.”
The family are now raising money for the Principle Trust Children’s Charity, which provides free holidays to underprivileged, disabled and disadvantaged young people across Yorkshire.
They set a target of £1,000 and have so far raised £3,845.
Their fundraising page says: “As part of Jaysley’s legacy, we are kindly asking for donations to The Principle Trust Children’s Charity.
“The reason we have chosen this charity is because Jaysley is a loving and caring person who would go above and beyond to help anyone in a less fortunate position than herself.
“If there is ever a person who needs help, you can always count on Jays to be there. Her compassion for others and her ability to light up a room putting a smile on anybody’s face is immeasurable.
“We believe this charity radiates the kind of positivity that Jaysley always had helping give children their dreams back.
“100 per cent of every £1 raised by the charity goes towards helping provide free holidays to underprivileged, disadvantaged, and disabled children from across Yorkshire.”
Another soldier, Lance Corporal of Horse, Michael Miah, 28, was discovered dead at nearby Bulford base, on the same day.
An investigation has been launched by the army.
