They said Ms O’Flynn had much to look forward to, including a trip to Greece, where she had lived for 10 years with her husband.
They added: “We never would have imagined ourselves in this situation and cannot find the words to describe the grief that we are currently experiencing.
“The only comfort we can take from this situation is knowing she has been reunited with her husband and soul mate, whom she has missed dearly.
“The hole she has left will never be filled and she will be dearly missed by everyone, family and friends alike.”
Police said that on the day Ms O’Flynn was found, officers attended along with paramedics from the Welsh Ambulance Service, who confirmed that she had died.
A force spokesman said: “A referral has been made to the Independent Office for Police Conduct in line with normal procedures.”
