About Barbara

Beautiful Barbara Naylor was a loving wife to Peter, inspiring mum to Natalie and Tamsyn; and a devoted Nana to Charlie, Harriet, Scarlett, Willow, Poppy and Holly. And not forgetting Bella - Barbara and Peter's famous dog, who has over 40,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter)!

Barbara passed away on Saturday 7th February 2026, after a four‑year battle with ovarian cancer — a battle she faced with extraordinary courage, creativity, and an unwavering positive spirit.

Barbara had a gift for bringing warmth and light into every room. She was endlessly creative - crafting, imagining, and inspiring. Even during the toughest moments of her illness, she found ways to lift others up. Her resilience was remarkable, her kindness left a lasting mark on everyone who knew her and her smile lit up the room.

This page is a place for anyone who knew Barbara — or who simply wants to support the cause — to donate in her memory. Your donation will help fund vital research and support future families facing ovarian cancer.
