Rhiannon Skye Whyte

My name is Alexandra Whyte, and I am writing in memory of my beloved sister, Rhiannon Skye Whyte, who was tragically taken from us at just 27 years old.

On Sunday, 20th October 2024, Rhiannon finished her shift and, as she often did, headed home to our mum in Walsall. She was chatting with her best friend over the phone, catching up on life, when she was suddenly and brutally attacked. The assault left her with multiple injuries, including a severe brain injury.

Despite the heroic efforts of bystanders, the swift response from police and paramedics, and the dedicated care from the medical team at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Rhiannon passed away on 23rd October, surrounded by her loved ones.

In the wake of this tragedy, we are raising funds to honor Rhiannon's memory and support the 5-year-old son she left behind, who I am now raising. Any additional funds will go to a charity supporting victims of abuse and violence, a cause that Rhiannon, with her kind and selfless spirit, would have deeply cared about. While we haven't chosen a charity yet while we mourn Rhiannon's loss, we will post an update once we have made a decision.

Thank you for the overwhelming love and support we’ve received during this difficult time. Our family is grieving, but we are united in carrying Rhiannon’s spirit forward.
