CHARITY fundraiser Carolyn Monaghan worked to improve the outlook of others.
Following her death, a bench, looking out over the River Tees, is to be dedicated to her memory.
Inmates at Holme House Prison, Stockton, were well on with plans to make the bench and accompanying wildlife viewing platform - work funded by the Abbey Trust - when the Teesside mother-of-two died of breast cancer.
The 44-year-old mortgage advisor had for years helped raise funds for the trust, the charitable arm of the bank group she worked for, and it was suggested that her should be inscribed on a plaque, to go on the bench.
Trust chairwoman Janet Watkins said: "As well as providing a facility which people of all ages can enjoy, this exercise will help in the rehabilitation of prisoners, helping repay their debt to society while also demonstrating how they can make a useful contribution to their local community.''
The bench and platform, built for the Tees Valley Wildlife Trust, is to be sited on a bank of the River Tees, near the Tees Barrage, on the edge of Stockton.
