A NORTH Ayrshire housing association has paid tribute to a "cherished" team member who died in a motorcycle accident last month.

Candice Adam, 29, died following a fatal crash on her motorcycle on the trunk road at the Kilmory Roundabout in Lochgilphead on Sunday, July 28.

Following her death, her family said they were "devastated and heartbroken" at the loss of their daughter, adding that she was a "unique and special girl".

Candice, from Dalry, worked as a financial inclusion officer with Cunninghame Housing Association, working across North Ayrshire.

A spokesperson said: "Candice served as our financial inclusion officer, a role in which she made significant contributions to the lives of many households.

"Her dedication, compassion, and efforts to support those in need were a testament to her character and commitment to her work.

"Candice helped countless tenants navigate financial challenges, and we have received many letters, cards and calls of gratitude from people complimenting her positive attitude and helpful nature.

"Candice was not just a colleague, but a friend to many in CHA.

"Her bubbly and vivacious character, love of motorcycles and fun loving spirit will be sorely missed, and her passing has left a profound void in the workplace.

"We send our deepest condolences to her family and friends; our thoughts are with them at this difficult time."
