A “much-loved” care home nurse died with coronavirus just days after her granddaughter was born.

Karen Hutton, 58, died at home in the town of Carnoustie, Angus, on April 28 after testing positive for Covid-19.

She was employed as a staff nurse in the dementia unit at Lochleven Care Home in Broughty Ferry, Dundee.

Her only daughter, Lauren, gave birth to a baby girl just two weeks ago, according to care home operators Thistle Healthcare.

Andrew Chalmers-Gall, manager of Lochleven Care Home, said: “Karen was a tenacious advocate for her residents and she always put their needs first.

“She was extremely excited about the recent birth of her granddaughter.

Missed terribly

“She was a much-loved friend and colleague, and she’ll be missed terribly by everyone at Lochleven.”
