Lithgow's main street was lined with blue balloons as mourners gathered outside the Uniting Church to farewell "one of a kind" Senior Constable Kelly Foster who died in Wollangambe Canyon, in the Blue Mountains this month.
Senior Constable Foster was an avid bushwalker who loved the outdoors. It was this love of the outdoors that took her on the canyoning trip on January 2.
During the guided tour, the 39-year-old was sucked underwater as she tried to help Jennifer Qi, a 24-year-old international student who had been tipped off her inflatable lilo when it was swept into a whirlpool.
Kelly Foster has been remembered as a loving daughter, sister, partner and friend.
