THE family of a 21-year-old woman killed in a car crash have paid tribute to a “fantastic mother”.
Carys Ann Wright, from Johnstown, died at the scene of the crash on the B5105 Vicarage Road, Brymbo, on Monday evening.
Tragically, it comes after the death of Carys’ twin sister, Amy Wright, 16 months ago.
The former student at Ysgol y Grango, Rhos and Yale College, Wrexham, leaves 11-month-old son Noah, partner Adam Hind and parents Michelle and Ian.
She was the granddaughter of David, Eileen, Errol and the late Mary.
Her family issued a statement yesterday which said: “She was a fun-loving person and a fantastic mother to her little sweetheart. ‘Cazz’, as she was known to her large group of friends, will be dearly missed.
“Carys will be sorely missed by everyone, but she will never be forgotten.
“Goodnight Princess from Adam and Noah James.”
Carys had been a tireless fundraiser following her sister’s death, raising money for three charities in her memory.
Her family have asked any donations be made to the same three charities – Macmillan Cancer Support, Nightingale House Hospice and Welsh Warrior – which helps armed forces personnel from Wales.
Amy Louise Wright, 19, fell to her death from Pontcysyllte Aqueduct on September 3, 2010. An inquest into her death was held in January last year. Kirit Champaneria, deputy assistant coroner for North East Wales recorded a verdict of suicide.
Carys, who lived on Clawdd Offa, Johnstown, attended the same school and college as her twin Amy, and both sisters had worked at Liquid nightclub in Brook Street, Wrexham. Carys also worked at Tenpin in Eagles Meadow.
Tributes to Carys have also been left on the Leaderlive website and Facebook page.

Natasha Powell said: “Totally Shocking, RIP girls. You take care of each other up there. Heartfelt sympathys to the family and friends of Carys and Amy.”
‘Dyfrdwy Shih Tzu’s’ wrote: “What a horrendous thing to happen. Both girls gone. God bless them and their family, can’t even start to imagine what they’re going through right now.”
‘Shazera67’ said: “So shocked, a lovely girl, rest in peace.”
The male driver of the Peugeot 106 in which Carys was a passenger was taken to Wrexham Maelor Hospital with serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
Police are appealing for witnesses following Monday’s crash which occurred at about 7.20pm and involved a Renault Laguna, the driver of which escaped injury.
Anyone with information is asked to call PC 450 Aled Jackson on 101.
Acting coroner for North East Wales, John Gittins, opened an inquest on Tuesday.
A post-mortem has been conducted by Dr Brian Rodgers with the provisional cause of death given as multiple injuries. The inquest has been adjourned to a date to be fixed.
