Maria Howarth, who was PA to directors at Sheffield-based Castle Square Corporate Finance, has died.

Her death was confirmed in a statement released by the firm today. The statement described this as a “devastating loss” for her colleagues.

It adds: “Maria was taken to hospital after an incident on Sunday 6 September and sadly passed away on Tuesday 8 September.

“Maria was a beautiful, caring and larger than life individual known and loved by everyone who met her.

“Maria has been an integral member of the Castle Square team since 2016. Her dedication to the firm and enthusiasm, energy and commitment made her an important factor in the firm’s continued success.

“On a personal level, we all remember Maria’s joy for life, her kindness and generosity, her support for the Blades, her willingness to go that extra step for anyone and most importantly her love and devotion to her 10-year-old Daughter, Chloe.

“Having discussed the matter with Maria’s family, we have established a Just Giving page so anyone who wishes can make a donation to a fund for Chloe, which will be given to her when she is older, or used if she needs anything before then.”
