Hide AdMrs Clifford, of Elm Street, Hollingwood, worked for Chesterfield-based Rykneld Homes as its customer service manager.
Lorraine Shaw, Rykneld Homes’ managing director, paid tribute to her through the Derbyshire Times earlier this week – describing her as a ‘tireless campaigner for charities’ and someone with a ‘positive attitude to life’.
Following the crash, police arrested a 27-year-old Matlock man on suspicion of drug-driving.
He was subsequently released on bail.
Mr Nieto adjourned the inquest to a later date.
