A TRAGIC last video of a mum who died from rabies after stroking a stray dog shows her happily dancing.
Yvonne Ford, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, died earlier this week after suddenly falling ill, her family said.

She had been suffered a mild scratch from a puppy while on holiday in Morocco in February and unknowingly contracted the potentially fatal disease.
A video filmed earlier this month, shows her happily dancing with two children as music blasts out from speakers at what appears to be an outdoor family-friendly rave.
Yvonne’s daughter Robyn Thomson said in a Facebook post yesterday: “Two weeks ago she became ill, starting with a headache and resulted in her losing her ability to walk, talk, sleep, swallow. Resulting in her passing.”
Her death has led to an urgent warning from the UK Health and Security Agency today.
Robyn also said: “She was scratched very slightly by a puppy in Morocco in February.
“At the time, she did not think any harm would come of it and didn’t think much of it.”
On Sunday, Robyn shared a clip of Yvonne dancing with two children, writing “just under two weeks before we lost mum”.
In a tribute, she said:
“Our family is still processing this unimaginable loss, but we are choosing to speak up in the hope of preventing this from happening to others.”
In another post, she referred to her mum by the nickname “Bon” and said: “She was the heart of our family—strong, loving, and endlessly supportive.
“No words can fully capture the depth of our loss or the impact she had on all of us.
“We are heartbroken, but also grateful for every moment we had with her.”
