This is the elderly rambler who plunged 70ft to her death into a disused quarry, MailOnline can reveal.
Cattrin Wickens, 82, was walking yards behind her husband Robert, 84, down a set of steps along the South West Coast Path in Dorset, above Winspit Quarry, when she is thought to have suddenly lost her balance and tumbled over the edge.
Tragically, Mr Wickens, known as Bob, only realised his 'active' and 'popular' wife had fallen when he turned around to see she was no longer walking behind him.
Police, the ambulance service, three fire crews, three coastguard teams and the coastguard helicopter were scrambled to scene after the alarm was raised at around 2pm last Saturday but Mrs Wickens died at the scene.
Mrs Wickens was a popular church-going golfer and grandmother-of-seven.

Speaking this weekend, a heartbroken Mr Wickens said: 'We were 70ft above sea level on the coast path.
'There were steps to get down to the bottom and Cattrin was about three to five yards behind me.
'She had poles and we weren't right by the edge, I don't know how she fell. She didn't call out or make any noise, if I had heard a call I would have turned round.
'The steps were dry and not slippery. I looked back and she wasn't there. I couldn't see her, but I feared the worst. I managed to get down to where she was in about three minutes.
'There was a holidaymaker who happened to be a first responder who did CPR. I had a mobile phone but the signal was not good at the bottom.
'I think someone at the top of the cliff called the emergency services.
'It was quite an inaccessible area, I think we waited about 20 minutes. But I'm most grateful for all the emergency services. There was nothing they could do to help her and they were a great support.'
Mrs Wickens, a mother-of-three and grandmother-of-seven, was born in Wilmslow, Cheshire, and later moved with her family to Kent.
She met her husband in 1965 when they both played for a mixed hockey team before they set up home in Poole in the late 1970s. She worked at Ashley Cross Girls School as a domestic sciences teacher.
On retiring, she led an active social life, joining £2,000-a-year Parkstone Golf Club with her husband, playing bridge and running an alternative Women's Institute group.
She was an active member of their local church, as a flower arranger and member of the parish council.
Mr Wickens, a retired life insurance worker, told of his devastation of losing his partner of 57 years: 'She was very active, she looked after herself and enjoyed walking. Everyone loved her.

'We had 57 years together, three lovely kids, five lovely grandchildren and two step-grandchildren.
'I miss her terribly, in the circ*mstances it is awful, but life has to go on and you have to focus on the good times you had, we had a good marriage.
'She was very popular and the church will be overflowing for the celebration of her life.'
In a statement, a spokesman for Parkstone Golf Club said: 'We are shocked and saddened by the sudden death of Cattrin as a result of a tragic accident.
'Cattrin had been a member of the club for nearly 30 years and was ladies' captain in 2011.
'An active member, often volunteering at club events who will be fondly remembered by staff and members.
'Our thoughts and condolences are with her husband Bob and their family.'
In 2011, Mrs Wickens helped organise a naked charity calendar of female members of the club.
Police confirmed that her death is not being treated as suspicious.
An inquest into her death is due to be opened and then adjourned later.
Winspit Quarry was used as a quarry for Purbeck stone from the 18th century until 1940.
During the Second World War it was used as a military defence site and then opened to the public after the war. The site is now owned by the National Trust.
The abandoned quarry, which is owned by the National Trust, was used as a filming location for the Disney+ Star Wars prequel Andor.
But filming for the second season was cancelled last year due to concerns that parts of the quarry were unstable.
