Michelle Greenwood, 20, of West Acres, Byram, died hours after she was taken to a police station in Doncaster in a collapsed state in the early hours of Saturday morning.
A postmortem examination found she had been strangled.


Her shocked family this week told the Express a hole "the size of the moon" had been left by Michelle's death – which happened just days before she was due to celebrate her daughter Georgia's second birthday on October 13.
Mum Ruby Greenwood, who lived with Michelle in Byram, said: "Part of me has died with her. She will leave a massive hole – the size of the moon.


"We've told Georgia that her mum has gone to heaven and she is a shining star, twinkling at her. We said she would see her in her dreams."
Michelle had worked for the past five years at a children's nursery in Brotherton and had just been promoted to babyroom leader.


Her sister Amanda, 22, who worked with her at the nursery, said: "She was really looking forward to her new job. She was born to work with children. She was perfect and bubbly with them. I can't tell you how many times children have said they didn't want to go home after she'd worked with them.
"She was the perfect mum to Georgia too. She was like a big kid with her."


Her close-knit family spoke lovingly of a girl who kept them entertained by believing her teeth would turn green if she ate a greenfly, who wondered out loud whether French people think in French and who, along with her sisters over the years, would steal chocolates from boxes ready to be wrapped for relatives at Christmas.


They said her nickname was Bopper because she danced all the time and Georgia was called Little Bop as she loves to dance too.
Brother Michael, 18, said: "She was my best friend. She was very fun-loving and loved to dance. Our tune together was the new Pussycat Dolls song, When I Grow Up.


"She will always be Big Bop and I will look after Little Bop and take care of her."
The family has lived in Byram for the past 24 years.
Sister Kate, 24, said: "She had the entire village as friends. She would talk to anyone. She was polite, she was never ignorant. She had a smile for everyone."
Dad Steve said: "Michelle was absolutely brilliant. She was a top girl and a great mum.


"Michelle was vibrant. When she and her sisters got togther, they would have a proper gossip. They were so strong together. If anything happened to one of them, the other two would back her up."
Ruby added: "When Michelle smiled, it was infectious – because she just beamed. If you were sad and she smiled, it would just make you smile too.


"If she's out there somewhere, I would say we all love her and we miss her very much and we, as a family, will dedicate our lives to looking after Georgia the way that she would want to."

Jason Marley, 28, of Church Road, Stainforth, appeared at Doncaster Magistrates' Court on Monday charged with Michelle's murder.
