Sally Allan, 59, from Ponteland, Northumberland, was last seen on camera on 26 December walking close to the river on Newcastle Quayside at 6am.
Northumbria Police said a woman's body was found just after 1pm on Wednesday in water near Riverside Quay at Tynedock in South Shields.
The body has not yet been formally identified.
A spokesman said: "Although we cannot confirm that the body is that of Sally Allan, her family have been informed and our thoughts are with them at this time."
Mrs Allan's husband, Gordon, and their three children last month held a ceremony at the spot where she was last seen.
The family were joined by hundreds of mourners.
