“Her husband Stuart sustained serious injuries and continues to receive treatment and recover at Dorset County Hospital.
“Hannah was a wonderful daughter, wife, sister and mother to a beautiful 11-year-old girl.
“We are understandably devastated at losing her and wish to thank everyone for all the support we have received. We wish to focus on supporting Stuart and their daughter and would request complete privacy at this difficult time.”
