So sorry for your loss of what can only be described as an animal welfare legend of a lady. Kirsty and I met on the big surrey trial in 2019 and she quickly became a favourite of mine.
Her life may have been short but it was definitely fulfilling, happy and she made and left a huge legacy.

In memory of my amazing friend Tremaine.
You were one of the funniest people I know. A lot of the time without meaning to be with your Tremaineisms.
We had some crazy adventures, too many to mention here.
Such a kind and caring person and what an inspiration to all who knew you.
You will be forever in our hearts. 🥰
Rest peacefully Tremaine.

Dominic Hampton
Looking through photos we have 1 or 2 from over the years! This one made me laugh on my 40th.
It all seems very odd without you and seems very unfair that you've gone too soon. I miss you sis
Louise Hampton
To a Wonderful Sister in Law,
We've had so many great holidays and family times together. Remembering our early morning runs on holiday together which always turned competitive!!
You were always such fun to be around, just last Christmas you had us in hysterics when singing the 12 days of Christmas.
We are so proud of all you achieved in helping so many animals.
We love you and miss you so much.

Vivien
Kirsty, you filled me with admiration at how you managed to "juggle" so many different parts of your life, yet making sure you gave family work, hobbies your full commitment. I know you were so proud of your husband & children and their achievements. You were a great hacking partner for several years and a great person to discuss the trials and tribulations of horse ownership!. Will miss you so much. You were strong and I'm sure your family will be too. Much love to all left behind on your final journey. Xx
Helen Kensett
I may not have known Kirsty well but can see how many people she touched and how much she was loved. So sorry for the loss of such a beautiful soul.

Amazing lady xx
Caroline Pritchard-Law
BBB won't be the same without you! We will miss your insane ability to drink more than anyone (even Alison) and still remain unchanged! Your love of riding through water, and your positive, determined and sneakily competitive attitude. Thanks for all the good nights sitting in fields drinking, and the hungover hacks the next day! Xx

We have so many happy memories of Kirsty, Dom, Tim and Phil in Letty Green and sailing in Greece and Turkey. We all loved Kirsty for her bubbly disposition and zest for life and admired what she achieved in her life.

Kirsty, you were a special lady who was devoted to animal welfare. You will be missed by all that knew you. I am sending my thoughts to those you have left behind.
Mark & Poppy
Kirsty was a do'er, one of lifes get things done people. A person who set the standard and an example for all of us to follow. She leaves that as the best of legacies, to get out there and make a difference. Thousands of animals have had their lives changed because of one person, the lovely Kirsty.
Mark & Poppy
For the wonderful Kirsty, who changed so many lives within the animal kingdom. Wherever she is resting her head she will surely be surrounded by those she saved.
Jean & John Bennett
To dearest Kirsty - who will be so sadly missed by her lovely family, friends and all of the little animals she loved and cared for in her short life. May she now rest in peace, but never forgotten.
Mum and Dad
Dearest Kirsty, we will miss you terribly but you will forever be in our hearts. You brought such joy to our lives from the moment you were born. You were the kindest, gentlest, most loving and beloved of daughters and we have so many special memories of our lives together. Those memories, your sense of fun and your zest for life will live on in your legacy, your beautiful daughters, Lily and Daisy. RIP darling.xxx

Kirsty…Tremaine
An incredible lady with so much love to give. We were so lucky to have you in our life and to be able to call you a friend. You gave us some fantastic memories…Australia, the Bunkhouse, Butlins (where this photo was taken at the silent disco), numerous trips away and many more nights around a table with good company and beers.
Love to everyone at this sad time xx

Penny Baker
Thinking of you always kirst. The journey lasted 30 years but the memories will last forever. Your herculean contribution to animal welfare was outstanding and you influenced so many people, you leave a legacy that will never be forgotten. As a friend, you were fiercely loyal, supportive, fun and adventurous. So many lives have been enriched because of your attributes, I hope you knew how much we all treasured you. You told me a few weeks ago you wouldn’t change a thing if you could do it all over again, that’s some achievement bud, I only wish we could do it all over again. Thanks for the journey my friend, always in my thoughts, forever in my heart ❤️ xx
Thinking too of all your family x

Joanne Taylor
To Kirsty's family,
I met Kirsty as she trained me in 2009. I couldn't believe that I was lucky enough to be spending time with Kirsty as her amazing reputation preceded her. I couldn't have asked for a more kind, supportive and encouraging person to learn from. As soon as I met Kirsty I noticed that she radiated warmth and kindness. Kirsty put me instantly at ease. The most clear memory I have of Kirsty is of her next to her humongous great dane in her living room. The great dane bounding about and Kirsty with her beautiful smile laughing as the dane bounced about. I have often thought of Kirsty throughout my career as an inspector. I wanted to express to Kirsty's family how sorry I am to hear of Kirsty's passing. She really was incredible. Sending the warmest of hugs to Kirsty's children. May they know how fantastic and full of energy their mother was.
Amy Ockelford
It was always such a delight working with Kirsty and she was always so passionate about the RSPCA and enthusiastic to share her work, her expertise and the charity's goal with the wider public through filming and speaking to the media. She was such a fierce woman and a fearless advocate for the animals she helped rescue, but she was also a joy to spend time with. Her smile was infectious and her stories were enthralling. I feel lucky to have been able to call Kirsty a colleague as well as a friend, and the RSPCA will certainly sparkle a little less without her.
Suzanne Smith
Kirsty was one in a million. She inspired us all to be better and do better. The amount of animals saved and who's lives have been improved due to her is impossible to comprehend. She leaves a big hole behind..
Laura Jones
Rest peacefully Kirsty xx❤️
Pauline & Garry Walton
RIP Kirsty. You fought a brave fight and will be so sadly missed.
Jules Caulfield
Kirsty, you were immense! I have had so many happy times over the last 20 years! , walking, running sharing a glass of wine or two and generally supporting each other through huge chapters in ours lives!
The answer was always yes with a huge smile, Thanks Kirsty for being an amazing friend !

Sarah, James, Hector & Libby
We’ll think of you often, Kirst. Generally with the sound of hooves clip clopping!
You were simply brilliant.
Be at peace my dear friend xxxx
Kate Salmon
Always so willing to support and lead the way with such vital work, Kirsty was a legend of a person and I will always be grateful to have had met, worked, laughed and achieved with her.
She was such a loved woman and I hope her family know just how much she inspired everyone she met on her journey.
Rest easy Kirsty xx

Rachel Bell
Thank you Kirsty for inspiring me to take the path I did. You were a truly amazing and inspirational woman, and you probably never knew how much you influenced my move into equine welfare, and how eternally grateful I am to you for that.
Sending love to all your family and friends, the loss is devastating. Your legacy will last many, many years to come, and all the horses whose lives you saved have a brighter future because of you ❤️
Jason Fletcher
Kirsty,
It was a honour and a pleasure working with you over the years. You never lost your passion or your drive right up to the very end when I still saw you dipping into case files. You were an exceptional inspector and investigator. Your brilliance shone through in the Amersham case and continued unwavering.
But more importantly you were a thoroughly decent person, kind, caring and compassionate. You were even kind to me when I was giving you a long list of things to do.
All our thoughts are with your girls, husband, parents, close family and friends.
Jason & Alison

I am shocked and truly saddened to hear of your passing Kirsty. I know you from the Riding Club and we shared a few clinics. You were always utterly poised and charming as well as being a talented rider.
I recently watched you on TV talk about your RSPCA work and I was full of respect and admiration.
You will be hugely missed by everyone xxx

So proud of you Kirsty for doing that medium test this year. Pleased to have been a tiny part of your very big world. Sleep well and keep an eye on us - we need it after all the prosecco! X
Martin Rivett
I had the great pleasure of working with Kirsty for 4 years. She was such a hardworking, dedicated inspector, with such a kind, caring and supportive personality. I always knew I could count on Kirsty for help and advice. She was always up for some fun too! She had such a positive impact on so many lives.
Stuart
Only met Kirsty a few times but such a lovely person taken far too soon, thoughts are with all the family.

Laura Osborne-Fardon
Some of my best loved times have been spend with Kirsty, her family and our little NCT family… from sharing the daunting first days of motherhood, the Stowe picnics, the girlie drinks nights, camping (the rain) and the fabulous pub walks (you guys never having to put a tent up) Christmas meals, zoom calls in Covid, meeting up in Dorset, and our dog walk chats that I will miss forever. It was always a giggle, you were ALWAYS up for an adventure, truly a wonderful friend who was so loved and truly will be missed. Sleep well Kirsty, the memories we have shared will always be with us xx

BBB will never be the same with out you Kirsty. What fun we had. You were a very special funny lady
Alice, Rob & Milly Kirk
It doesn’t feel real that we are in this place, writing about someone so young and full of life. You fought all the way in true Kirsty style. It’s sad we are still learning about you now and how amazing a life you fitted in, always caring for others more than yourself. If any of us can even do a tenth of the amazing achievements you did in your short life the world would be a significantly better place.
We spent a very lucky 11 years of our lives together learning, laughing and experiencing parenthood and everything life threw at us. You were a dear friend to us all and will be missed forever. Our families will continue to support one and other through thick and thin, no matter what happens.
We miss you so much already, all our love Alice, Rob, Milly, Bramble & Echo xxx

Kirsty, you were beautiful inside and out. You always had a smile on your face, even when something hadn’t gone to plan, like when you’d forgotten your music at a dressage to music competition. You will always shine brightly.

Naomi Tisdall
Kirsty you were such a sunny person- such easy company with both humans and animals! Thank you for always being game for fun- either dancing around with a massive smile on your face at our barn dance wedding, or hanging out at the air ambulance dog show, empowering lots of the juniors to enter their pets (their own or borrowed!) in the various classes. A gorgeous sunny day with a gorgeous sunny lady.
Susan & Grant Fletcher

The world of horses and dogs will miss you Kirsty.. as will Hendrix with his ‘crazy ears’ as you always described him.
Having only known you for 10 years we soon realised your passion, compassion and skills in all you did and achieved and how you juggled it all so finely with family life. We will miss you.. but are all the richer for getting to know you, Greg and your lovely girls. Rest in peace beautiful Kirsty♥️

Sally, Nathan, Molly &Lillu
It’s so hard to find the right words, we only knew Kirsty for a short while but from the moment we met she was the kindest soul. A true animal lover who would stop at nothing to get justice for those who don’t speak human. She had a cheeky twinkle in her eye and you knew she was such a funny, warm and courageous girl. When the news came many hearts were broken, but remember her spirit will be here always.
Kevin Degenhard
It has been such a privilege to know and work with Kirsty and experience her commitment to her RSPCA role, becoming the perfect colleague and exceptional advocate for animals.
Her work ethic was relentless, right to the end. You only have to browse these messages and dip into social media to see how positively she impacted on the lives of so many animals and so many people in her all too short lifetime. She really made a difference and will be missed.
Sue Chaplin
Kirsty, I've only known you for the last 7 years when you've cared so lovingly for our labrador Jumble. He just adored coming to you. You touched the hearts of so many people and I feel privileged to have known you.
Louise O’Hara

Kirsty, you gave the voice to the voiceless whilst tirelessly striving for justice in a unjust world. You were one of the most courageous & compassionate people I have ever met. You made the world a better place for so many animals, inspired many people & enriched the lives of many more. I feel so lucky to have worked along side you at the RSPCA and for NEWC. Once I left the RSPCA you took over my old role, bringing your passion & commitment, never wavering despite the cruel world we are all too often exposed too & somehow remained positive and upbeat whenever we spoke. Thank you for all you did for animal welfare. You will be so greatly missed. Your memory will forever shine bright, I have no doubt. Sending all my love to your lovely family. Rest in peace Xxx

Kirsty,
You were one of life's greats. A true great friend.
Our friendship was one of the special ones, you will be dearly missed but never forgotten.
We have such wonderful memories of many wild and wonderful family adventures. The last 11 years have been so very special, not just for me but for the whole Whittaker family, it’s been an honour to call you our friend.
I’m still not sure how you convinced us to take home one of your puppy farm rescue dogs, but my goodness I’m pleased you did! She represents a small snapshot of your legacy of wonderful RSPCA achievements .
Lots of Love, Lauren, Paul, Lucinda, Imogen and Ruby xxx

Dearest Greg, Lily, Daisy and your very nearest and dearest. Sending you my heartfelt thoughts for this time. Kirsty was a truly kind person, one who was always smiling. I have some funny memories at the rugby club, especially on the tour both Kirsty and Jules organised. My thoughts are with you all now and for the months and years to come. If either girls have been bitten by the horse bug, and would ever like to come and ride with my Lily or have someone escort them on a sponsored ride, please get in touch Greg xx

The support and care Florence Nightingale Charity provided Kirsty, Greg and the Girls was truly wonderful.

Jenny Bethel
I was really upset to hear of the passing of Kirsty. I can't imagine how her family and close friends are feeling. I knew Kirsty through the RSPCA. I never met her in person unfortunately but we communicated over the past few years via phone calls, texts and emails. We would often miss each others calls and then leave rambling voicemails to each other to try and catch up on the jobs we were discussing, it makes me smile when I think about it. She was always so happy to help and guide me with her expert knowledge. I always found Kirsty so easy to talk to. She was so friendly, down to earth, knowledgeable and ever so inspirational. The people and animals she has helped over the years is immeasurable and I hope she knows how respected she was by all of us in the RS. Rest easy Kirsty and condolences to your family and friends x
Nathan and Hannah
Tremaine, kind, funny and an all round good person. If everyone had a fraction of your kindness the world would be a better place.

Kirsty, I was privileged to inherit and wear your dry suit for 6 years!!! It is always a sad time when a life is taken too soon but for me it is especially difficult when it is one of our RSPCA family. Our job doesn't suit everyone, but it suited you. To work tirelessly for years to fight for a better life for animals is something we will always have in common and I will for one be continuing that fight. I can't actually imagine not being an RSPCA Inspector and I think you were the same. Rest in peace. x

I can remember the calls all of our family had during covid when we couldn't see each other in person, the holidays in Spain afew years back, the competitive runs you had on holidays with mum, when we sang the 12 days of Christmas and you couldn't get your words together, the time we went to Brittany and all the fun we had skiing in the dome.
Love you and miss you lots.
Sarah and Graham
Thinking of you all ❤

Kirsty you were the best of people. A wonderful friend, always ready for a beer and a canter! Your drive and determination was impressive, and combined with your ability to see the best in everyone, made you truly amazing. xx

Kirsty, one of a kind and one in a million. Your integrity, passion and resilience has been and always will be an inspiration for us all. I am so proud to have been your friend for so many years. I will always treasure our time together and you will never leave my heart. ❤️

We spent time together on horse back and on the rugby field. You were so full of life and fun. You touched so many people lives. Thinking of your family and close friends as they learn to navigate a life without you . Xx
Kate Fletcher
One of those incredibly rare, one-in-a-million humans who just lights up a room by being in it and inspires others to be better whilst being so down to earth, humble, modest and unaware of their own utter brilliance. I'll never forgot the kindness and empathy you showed me the day I had to say goodbye to my horse and then walk into an RSPCA management training course. You pretty much kept me propped up that whole course. But then being kind, empathetic, supportive, brave and selfless just came naturally to you, towards both humans and animals. I can't believe the world can be so cruel as to take the very best too soon, but my god what a light and legacy you leave. Sending so much love to your family. Shine bright my friend.

Such an amazing lady xx
Dawn Long (was Avery)
I first met Kirsty in February 2001 when we started training to be RSPCA Inspectors in Class A2001. She is one of the few people I know who had no sides, was kind, compassionate, and committed to improving the lives of animals. She lived life to the full, and although I never met her family I saw how much she loved them through her posts on Facebook. My heart breaks for those closest to her, and my thoughts will be with you all tomorrow and always. 💔 Kirsty is a shining star in the sky. 🌟

Tremaine, kind, funny and an all round good person. If everyone had a fraction of your kindness the world would be a better place.
This picture is how I will remember you. (laughing, not the beer in the hand!)

Kirsty, I am so so sad that we can't reminisce again together about how you kept me both sane and bonkers through our training course.
You made me laugh everyday, even when you were mad at something, you would laugh at it or yourself.
You were just blooming fabulous.
Big love to your beautiful family.
Stuart & Elaine Brace
A precious soul taken far too soon and will be sorely missed. It was a privilege to have known you.

To you all,
I am so gutted we couldn’t be there from New Zealand. It’s so far away in times like thes and I have felt that horrendous distance so much more over the last few weeks. I loved Kirsty like another sister growing up, she was so kind and generous, she gave so freely of her time, I always felt warmth in her presence. I will miss her eternally. You must feel this million times more, and I’m so sorry. I’m just sorry. Love and support to you all. Nicky and family.

Kirsty, it still hasn’t quite sunk in that’s you’re gone. Even though it’s been years since we last saw each other, I remember your smiling face and your voice like it was yesterday. I had the time of my life in college with you. We laughed every day! I will never forget you.
Helen Onions
Reading all these messages reminds me of how I saw Kirsty growing up as my parents’ neighbour in Letty Green. So impactful was her openness and genuine friendliness, she was a delight. To be taken away from Trevor, Wendy, Dominic and her husband, daughters, and loved ones, is so cruel. I hope memories of her will somehow translate to enriched moments, guilty pleasures if you will, and I sincerely hope the pain and grief will soften with time.
