`Loving, supporting, and just a joy to be around’ – daughters remember cop killed at roadblock

Constable Abel in happier times

By Mia Anthony

The daughters of the late Constable Annette Abel, the policewoman who was struck and killed at a Beterverwagting roadblock on Thursday, took time out from their mourning to share some fond memories of their mother.

Although the circumstances that would bring their mother’s life to an end were unexpected, the pair, Abigail and Alison, are very grateful to have had a parent who was loving, supporting, and just a joy to be around.

Constable Abel while being remembered as the favourite aunt, most helpful coworker, and a vibrant personality,  was mostly acknowledged as a mother with immense passion and love for her kids and grandkids.
