Well-known local newsreader, Sharon Plummer has died at the age of 39
Tributes have been flooding social media platforms over the weekend after the sad news that former Sussex radio newsreader, Sharon Plummer has died at the age of 39.
Sharon Plummer (nee Williams) was given the devastating diagnosis in September of Stage 4 cancer, just 9 months after giving birth to her daughter Jemima.
Sharon was well-known in local radio here in Sussex, having covered all manner of news stories as a journalist for Spirit FM in Chichester, Sovereign Radio in Eastbourne, Arrow FM in Hastings and Splash FM in Worthing (all now More Radio). More recently, she’s recorded news, voiceovers and audio books for numerous clients across the country from her home studio in Lincolnshire.
Her former colleagues and friends, Joanna Flay and Laura Raymond have set up a fundraising appeal on Go Fund Me to help raise money for Sharon's family, which currently stands at £4197.
Laura said: "Sharon was much loved and respected by colleagues across the industry including many of us who are now here at V2 Radio.
"We will remember her for not only her work ethic and wit but her beautiful smile. She will be sadly missed.
"Our thoughts are with her family at this sad time."
The original fundraiser can be accessed here. The funds go directly to Sharon's husband and daughter.
