"Her love of music, the Yorkshire countryside, and travels across Greece made her a beautiful, joyous young woman.
"From a very young age, her strong sense of right and wrong led to a natural ambition to become a police officer.
"Our hearts go out to everyone who knew Mariella her friends, colleagues and, naturally, all her family.”
Her family are continuing to be supported by specially trained officers, the force said.
