Daniel Jones, her father, claimed his daughter had a good heart and was "always thinking about others." He told the Daily Mail Australia, 'She had all the time in the world for other people.' He further said that despite suffering from several neurological disorders that caused her constant discomfort, she never complained and was always the 'happiest, bubbliest' person in the room. She had a 'love for life' and the 'biggest smile,' never revealing to others her struggles, despite her quality of life deteriorating.
