Sharon Bamford – an Oncology Nurse at Singleton Hospital, Swansea, Wales – passed away on 22 April, 2020 due to COVID-19. Sharon was 63 years old.
"Warm, caring and dedicated" Sharon Bamford, who worked at Swansea's Singleton Hospital, was the eighth Welsh NHS worker to die with the virus. She died at Morriston Hospital on Tuesday.
Her death came just days after her 73-year-old husband Malcolm died in the same intensive care unit.
"Sharon was highly thought of by all the patients," said Singleton Hospital director Jan Worthing.
She added Mrs Bamford was also "loved by her colleagues and friends within the team".
Mrs Bamford had worked at the hospital for "many years", and in the haematology and oncology ward since 2005.
"Sharon's sad death will leave a massive void within the team and within the Singleton family," said Ms Worthing.
