Barbara SoniaDODDSIt is with great love and deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Barbara Dodds, aged 77, who left us peacefully on Friday 10th October, surrounded by her family.

Barbara was the beloved wife of her late husband, Colin, a much-loved mother to Emma and Lucy, and their loving partners, Dale and Stephen, and an adored Nannie to Daisy, Freddie, and Poppy. She was a cherished sister to Sheila and the late Wendy, and the beloved daughter of the late Dorothy Jones.

Barbara's kindness, warmth, and quiet strength touched everyone who knew her. She devoted her life to her family, her garden, and the joy of the outdoors, and will be remembered for her selflessness, gentle spirit, and wonderful sense of humour.

A funeral service will be held at St Philip's and St James Church, Hucclecote, on Tuesday, 28th October at 1.30pm, followed by a private family cremation. Family and friends are warmly invited to gather in remembrance and celebration of a beautiful life well lived.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to the British Heart Foundation or Teckles Animal Shelter in Barbara's honour.

Her light, love, and laughter will live on in all who were fortunate enough to know her.

"Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us every day - Unseen, unheard, but always near, Still loved, still missed, and very dear."

Please wear whatever feels right for you, whether bright colours or traditional black, all are welcome.

Although I didn’t know Barbera well she always came across as such a gentle and kind lady and the kind of mum who was also your best friend she had a lovely presence and will be fondly remembered and sadly missed.

I worked for many years with Barbara at Gloucestershire County Council. She was very well respected. I am so sorry for your loss.

It is with great shock and sadness that we heard of Barbara's passing earlier this month. In the short time we knew her at Stratton Court Cirencester we got to know her well and have very fond memories. She was well liked and respected and member of our social group and will be greatly missed. Kind Regards Robert and Denise Dodds (Originally from South Wales)
