Miss Dyer's mother said: "She loved to laugh and was a very generous person. Her heart was as big as any ocean."
She added: "My daughter was a vibrant and happy young lady with her whole life ahead of her. She was incredibly popular and was the life and soul of any gathering.
"She particularly loved it when the family was all together, she adored her family and we always came first.
