In a statement, their British family called Lianne the " light of Our Family 's life".

" She had a wonderful, caring nature. She would help anyone in Trouble - be it physical, emotional or financial, she would be there for them. She was funny, with a dry sense of humour, " they said.

" We will miss Our Girl to The End of our days and keep her in our hearts forever, tucked away with the fondest memories of her 48 years. "

Relatives described Yahel as " a bundle of energy" who loved " riding her bike at breakneck speed around the kibbutz, playing football, singing and dancing to Tik Tok and YouTube with sister, Noiya, and, on occasions her British cousins".

They said she had a strong sense of adventure, enjoyed scuba diving, sky diving and zip-lining, and had a keen interest in the Natural World .

" We will never know what she could have become - a vet, an entertainer, a naturalist, maybe even The First Israeli woman In Space .

" All we know is that there is a Yahel-shaped hole in our lives that can never be filled, " they said.
