Barbara Yvonne Louise Trotman sadly passed away on 01.07.22, aged 76 years. 

The best mum and nanny anyone could ever have. Barbara was such a strong, kind, loving and caring person who always saw the good in everyone. She lost her husband (dad - Bev) 23 months prior and even though she was grieving, she was always there for us all. 

She worked as a Cardiac Theatre Coordinator for 30+ years and on retiring she enjoyed her holidays abroad, gardening, spending time with her family and completing daily crosswords with my dad, plus her favourite hobby - playing Bingo! 

Throughout her life, mum was a huge animal lover and had many pets over the years, including a "stray" dog which she found in her front garden and whom no one ever claimed. Mum also supported various Donkey and Horse sanctuaries and it was her dying wish that people donate money to her chosen animal sanctuaries instead of buying flowers. 

We miss our beautiful, wonderful mum every second of every day and until we meet again mum: we love you all the world and anything left over, that as well. Xxx
