TRIBUTES have been paid to a much-loved stall holder at Widnes Market who has sadly died.

The market’s official social media page issued a touching tribute to Agata Rogusz, who was market stall holder of Blue Bird Coffee.

Agata will be missed deeply by all who knew her, the market says, adding that she was ‘smiling, talented and enthusiastic’.

In a tribute, Widnes Market said: “It is with great sadness that we at Widnes Market have to announce the passing of Agata Rogusz.

“Agata has been with us as a market stall holder of Blue Bird Coffee since May.

“Agata made an instant impression with customers, staff and fellow stallholders from the minute she arrived.

“Her friendly, approachable and helpful manner when running her coffee shop made her a market favourite.

“She was never short of a visitor to her counter, for a coffee or a quick chat thanks to her affable nature.

“Her smile, talents, enthusiasm and willingness to help everyone will be a huge loss to the whole market, and we will all miss her deeply.”
