Mum, 30, killed in house fire as family pay emotional tribute to ‘incredible’ person saying she ‘brought so much joy’

AN EMOTIONAL tribute has been paid to an "incredible" mum who was killed in a house fire last week.

Sylwia Burnos, 30, was found dead at a property in Coventry, West Midlands, on Saturday, February 22.

Firefighters had rushed to the semi-detached home following reports of a fire at around 2.25pm.

Inside, they discovered the body of a 30-year-old woman who has now been named mum-of-one Sylwia.

The young mum, who worked at a gym chain in Coventry, is survived by her 9-year-old daughter and has been remembered as "kind and caring".

Her friend Jessica Wallen has launched a JustGiving page to help pay for Sylwia's send off and to support her daughter.

Jessica said: “It is with deep sadness that we share the sudden and tragic passing of Sylwia Burnos at the young age of 30.

"Sylwia was a beloved member of the JD Gyms family, where she worked for six years, leaving a lasting impression on both staff and members."

“Sylwia was valued, cherished, and brought so much joy to those around her."

Jessica added: "She was kind and caring and always wanted to try and help others where she could.

"She was extremely generous even in times when she may not have had a lot to give and did this because she wanted to make others happy.

“We want to remember Sylwia for the incredible person she was, the moments when her happiness was contagious when she was unstoppable, and when her presence lit up the room."

The tribute on JustGiving continued: "Like all of us, she had her highs and lows, but she faced them with strength and resilience, and always put on a brave face in the hardest of times."

"Our hearts are especially with her 9 year old daughter, who is now facing life without her mother.

"In honour of Sylwia’s memory, we are raising funds to go towards funeral costs and to support her daughter during this incredibly difficult time."

Investigations into the house fire on Saturday are ongoing and it is not yet known what started the blaze.

West Midlands Police said in a statement yesterday: "A forensic post-mortem has taken place, and we are continuing to work with West Midlands Fire Service to establish the exact cause of the fire."
