Each week, we pause to remember and pay tribute to members of our Gloucestershire community who have passed away. This week, we celebrate the lives of 16 remarkable individuals—from devoted parents and grandparents to cherished friends, neighbours, and colleagues—whose presence enriched the lives of many.
These tributes honour those who dedicated themselves to family, friends, and community—caring professionals, volunteers, and club leaders who made a lasting impact. Others are remembered for their kindness, warmth, and humour—qualities that made them deeply loved and whose memories will endure.
Each funeral notice serves as a loving farewell and a lasting tribute, shared by families wishing to keep their loved ones’ memories alive. Notices remain accessible online at funeral-notices.co.uk, where friends and relatives can leave messages, memories, and photographs.
