Desiree Golling, 34, has reportedly died while living in Dubai, with her family members paying tribute
A woman who described as having a “beautiful smile and contagious laugh” has died at the age of 34 while living in Dubai. Desiree Golling, from Liverpool, is understood to have died suddenly while living in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
Heartwarming tributes to Desiree were published across social media on Tuesday, May 13, following the shock death. Writing on Facebook, mum Paula Golling, from Halewood said: “Doing life without you babe doesn’t seem real I am going to miss our voice notes where you say ‘hi mum, just checking in’.
“You was the most inspirational person, everyone loved you babe, how my heart aches right now. I will see your beautiful face soon, goodnight my sweet Desi.”
Desiree is believed to have been living in the UAE where she had previously worked in real estate and marketing. Her most recent job, according to LinkedIn, was as a business consultant at Property Finder in the Middle Eastern country.
Among those to pay tribute was her cousin Amber Harrison, a star of the ITV sitcom G’Wed, who wrote on Instagram: “Our beautiful big cousin Desiree. Loved by so many, you will be missed.
“Our family will never be the same without you. Our queen of Dubai. I hope you are in a much better place you beautiful soul.”
Autumn Harrison wrote: “Our gorgeous Desiree.. my big cousin and best friend. Your beautiful soul shined right through you, absolutely stunning from the inside out. Yours was the warmest heart and the kind of energy that made anyone around you drawn to you
“You didn’t just care about people, you made people feel truly loved and I felt your love so deeply. Always the first to comment on posts, always reminding us how gorgeous we were, always telling me that life is too short to care too much and to just do what makes you happy. I promise I’ll carry that with me forever, for you.
“You were the one that made every family occasion, every party, every deep conversation. You’re the only person I’d listen to a three minute voice note from.
“We haven’t stopped talking about you in the group chat, waiting for you to voice note back like you always do and make us howl one way or another.
“There will never be another you Des. Oh our beautiful Des, I can’t believe I am writing this. Family is everything, and you lived by this..You made every second with all of us count and gave us memories to cherish for life for this I couldn’t be more grateful.
“You adored us all and that’s something I will always feel when I think of you. We will all miss you so so much and no words are big enough to explain the gap that you have left in our family and in each of our hearts. I promise to be there for your mum Jas & Luna.
“I love you forever & always angel girl. One in a million.”
Desiree’s mum is believed to be travelling to Dubai today, May 13.
