Jamie was diagnosed with asthma as a baby and was hospitalized many times due to the illness.
Her heartbroken mother Lorraine Dawes-Farren urged other asthma sufferers to make time for appointments.
She said: “Asthma is a serious disease and unfortunately in our family’s case it is a killer.
“Give your asthma the care and attention it really needs.”
Paying tribute to Jamie, Lorraine said: “As I am a very young and inexperienced mother of sixteen.
“I feel like Jamie-Louise and I have grown up together. Jamie-Louise has taught me unconditional love in every aspect of my life.
“Over the years, she grew from a cheeky little girl who loved life to the fullest to a beautiful, strong and independent woman.
“Jamie was a truly beautiful soul who was loving, caring and loyal.
“Jamie-Louise attended Withernsea Primary Schools and graduated from Withernsea High School.
“She was popular in her circle of friends and remained good friends with several of them.
Early warning signs of an asthma attack
“Jamie-Louise had an amazing personality. She was playful and would often say or do something funny without realizing it.
“This was part of her charm. She always had a story to tell, but she would commit to it, which made her funny.
“She was an honest person who was not afraid to speak for herself or others.
“She went above and beyond for everyone Jamie-Louise focused her life on her children, Ethan, 16, Nevaeh, 14, Maggie-Mae, 10, Henry-George, seven, and Colt-Jax, two.
What are the symptoms of asthma?
MOST children and adults with asthma have periods when their breathing becomes more difficult.
Some people with severe asthma may have trouble breathing most of the time.
The most common symptoms of asthma are:
- wheezing (whistling sound when breathing)
- breathlessness
- tight chest – it may feel like a band is tightening around it
- cough
Many things can cause these symptoms, but it’s more likely to be asthma if:
- they happen often and keep coming back
- they are worse at night and early in the morning
- appears in response to an asthma trigger such as exercise or an allergy (such as pollen or animals)
See your GP if you think you or your child has asthma, or if you have asthma and it’s difficult to control.

“She loved them dearly and spent her time baking, making and visiting them.
“Being a mother came naturally to her and she showed her love for them every day of their lives.
“It is not an easy task to raise five children, one of whom is disabled, but she managed it every day.”
Jamie’s younger sister Georgina said: “Jamie was a kind, funny older sister with a heart of gold.
“If you knew Jamie, you’d know she would go above and beyond for anyone.
“She often put others before herself and lived for her children until her last breath. We will miss her dearly.”
A GoFundMe fundraiser for the family has received more than £2,000 at the time of writing.
Boy (10) died after playing on the trampoline and ‘turned blue’
A BOY died after “turning blue” at school, his mum revealed as a charity warned that asthma care was “at a standstill”.
Warren Dowling, 10, died suddenly after spending the day feeling “good” at school and playing with his younger brother on the trampoline.
But his mother described how he asked for his inhaler after playing outside but then quickly turned blue and stopped breathing.
Belinda Dowling, from Portsmouth, wants more to be done to increase visibility of the seriousness of the condition, saying “there has never been enough awareness of asthma”.
She said: “They say your life can change in an instant, and we didn’t know how true that was.
“Warren mostly coped well with his asthma, but once or twice a year he would have a really bad asthma attack and have to go to the hospital, which was terrifying.
“Then one evening last March, after being in line at school all day and happily playing with his little brother Cameron on the trampoline, he came up to me and said he needed his inhaler.
“It didn’t seem to be working and he started to panic and then, while I was on the phone to 911, he turned blue and stopped breathing.”
Any surplus money will go towards supporting Jamie’s five children.
Jamie’s family added: “We are absolutely humbled by the amount that has been donated so far.
“We want to thank from the bottom of our hearts everyone who supported us in this incredibly difficult time.
“Whether you were sharing kind words, sending prayers, or donating to GoFundMe, your generosity and love was truly overwhelming.
“Also, a special thanks to the wonderful community of Withernsea.
“Your compassion and unity have been a tremendous source of strength.
“The way you have come together to support us is a powerful reminder of the kindness and caring that make our city so special.”
Lorraine said: “On behalf of our family, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the care and professionalism shown by the brilliant staff at Withernsea Ambulance Service and C. Fewster & Son Ltd on the evening of Jamie’s death.
“This has been the worst day of our lives, but the kindness, compassion and unwavering support they have given us means more than words can convey.”
