Paying tribute, Perseverance’s family said: “It is with immense pain that we say goodbye to Perseverance Ncube, also known as Percy to her loved ones.
“She was a loving and devoted mother who lived for her children, family, and friends.
“Percy was an active member of her church and had created a beautiful community for herself and her children.
“Percy had just celebrated her 35th birthday in October, and her passing has left us with an immeasurable sense of loss.

“With love from Percy’s family.”
