"Tracy, originally from Cwmbran, who lived in Quedgeley, Gloucester, worked in HMP Hewell.
“She was a psychosocial lead within the substance misuse, drug and alcohol team, which she truly adored.
"Her work was her life and if she wasn’t working she was spending time with her family in Wales.

The northbound section of the motorway was closed for several hours on Thursday while a collision investigation took place.
