Sharing the news of a loved one’s passing through local media is a cherished tradition that connects communities and preserves memories. We are honoured to be entrusted with publishing these important funeral notices in our newspaper and online. Each notice is also featured on funeral-notices.co.uk — the UK’s leading platform for death notices and memorials. These pages remain accessible indefinitely, offering families and friends a lasting tribute space to share memories, post photos, pay respects, and make donations in honour of the departed.
This week, we remember those who have recently passed in Gloucestershire. Below is a selection of funeral notices reflecting the lives and legacies of our community members.
Among them, we mourn the loss of Tonia, a devoted mother of three, who passed peacefully on 26 January 2026 at the age of 46. Born in Cheltenham, Tonia’s life was defined by her unwavering dedication to family—especially her beloved boys, whose warmth and patience she shared abundantly. Her funeral service will take place on Wednesday 4 March at St Michael’s Church, Whaddon. Family flowers only; donations are welcome to support her send-off.
