Each week, we pause to remember and honor members of our Gloucestershire community who have passed away. This week, we pay tribute to 16 individuals whose lives were rich with love, kindness, and dedication. From devoted parents and grandparents to friends, neighbors, and colleagues, their impact resonates deeply within their families and wider community.
Many of those remembered devoted themselves to helping others—as caring professionals, volunteers, and leaders who shaped lives for the better. Others are celebrated for their warmth, humor, and gentle nature, qualities that ensured they were dearly loved and whose memories will endure.
Every notice is a farewell and a heartfelt tribute shared by families wishing to preserve the memory of their loved ones. These tributes remain accessible online at funeral-notices.co.uk, where friends and relatives can share stories, photographs, and condolences.
