KELSALL Barbara Mary (nee Stott)

Our precious Barbara passed very peacefully with her family by her side, on Sunday 24th May 2026, at Rowena Jackson. 

Dearly loved wife of the late Ernie.

Much loved Mother and Mother-in-law of Dawn and Geoff Acker, Dean and Tracey Kelsall.

Loved and treasured Grandma of Liam and Kelsey Acker, Sam, Sophie and Luke Kelsall. 

Family would like to thank all the staff at Rowena Jackson and to Leah Brown at MonARC Health who have taken such great care of Barbara over the last 5 years. 

In accordance with Barbara’s wishes, a private family service will be held.

To the whānau of Barbara,

Barbara was a great mum and her home was warm and welcoming and she made the best baps and snacks ! I always felt welcome in your home and have very fond memories of fun times with Dawn as a child in your house. In later years you were also kind at Peacehaven and at Rowena Jackson .. Kia kaha to you all and thank you Barbara
