Coronavirus death: Sister pays tribute to 'powerhouse' police worker
A police worker who died after contracting coronavirus has been praised for being a "powerhouse".
Marcia Pryce, 61, worked for Greater Manchester Police for more then 30 years, most recently for the force's intelligence bureau. In a tribute following her death on 2 April, her sister Amira Asantewa said: "She had more godchildren than we can count. "You wanted to be on her team; you wanted her in your corner." Ms Asantewa added: "Marcia was a powerhouse, a positive influence in my life and the lives of the many people she knew and loved. "She taught us how to be independent and pursue your goals, even if no-one believed in you or them; how to enjoy life and connect with people from all walks of life. "No-one expected this loss; this emptiness, but Marcia would want us to go on, to keep each other close and have a cheeky drink to celebrate a life cut short, but a life full of love and joy, when we can once again meet each other." The family has requested donations to the British Heart Foundation in her memory.
