Public Portal.<\/a>\n<\/p>\n\n Following Ms Mullaney’s death, tributes poured in from those who knew her.\n<\/p>\n
\n Barbara’s granddaughter Molly thanked the Swindon and Cricklade community for their tributes, and she and her mother Jeanette kept Barbara’s shop, Animal Fayre open in the days after her death.\n<\/p>\n
\n “I would like to share our gratitude as a family for all the lovely comments, stories, flowers and tributes we have received for my beloved Granny, Barbara,” she said.\n<\/p>\n
\n Wendy Hindley and Lizzie Rose of Indico, another business on the town\u2019s High Street, were among those to lead the tributes to a \u201cbright and caring\u201d woman.\n<\/p>\n
\n They said: \u201cIt is difficult to believe that such a bright, bubbly, funny, caring and kind person could be taken in the most cruel, mindless circumstances.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cEveryone, pets and their humans alike will miss her desperately, Elvis our pug certainly will.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cShe was always so supportive, helpful and thoughtful\u2026 thinking of you dear Barbara and your family whom I know you adored.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n A spokesperson for neighbouring business The Wild Fig Deli added: \u201cAbsolutely heartbroken for the loss of our dear friend and business neighbour \u2018aunty\u2019 Barbara from Cricklade\u2019s beloved pet shop.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cYou have been incredibly supportive of me and my business, always a smiley face, there to lend me things and above all love all the dogs and animals in Cricklade.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cLife will not be the same without you.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n A spokesperson for Bailey\u2019s Dog Walking said: \u201cBarbara was one of those special people who made everyone feel welcome. Whether you visited with a dog or another much loved pet, she always had time for a chat, a smile and genuine kindness.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cShe has touched the lives of so many people over the years, including countless pet owners and local businesses, and I know I won\u2019t be the only one who wishes I\u2019d popped in just one more time.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cBarbara leaves an enormous hole in the Cricklade community, and she will be missed by so many.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wiltshire Police have confirmed that the crash on the B4696 near Royal Wootton Bassett on Tuesday, June 30…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":674388,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[59,57,58,50,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-674387","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-united-kingdom","tag-gb","tag-great-britain","tag-greatbritain","tag-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674387","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=674387"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/674387\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/674388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=674387"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=674387"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=674387"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
