Barbara Ann Glynn, of Southborough, passed away in the comfort of her home on September 30, 2025. Born in Natick on November 11, 1952, to the late Thomas and Phyllis (Snelling) Glynn, Barbara is survived by her longtime companion Bert McCue and her sons Robert Glynn Taylor (his wife Julia Falkowski) and Michael Taylor. Barbara was a cherished sister of Patricia Herne (her husband John), Diana Whipp (her husband Thomas), Janet Dumas (her late husband James), and Robin Cherry (her husband Wes). Barbara loved and often lauded every branch of her extended family, taking pride in each of her many cousins, nieces and nephews, grand nieces and nephews, and great grand nieces and nephews.
Born and raised in Natick, Barbara graduated High School Class of 1970. In her younger years she worked in the banking and travel industries (Fresh Pond Travel), followed by a long career of public service at the Framingham District Court. Her passions included travel, music, art, gardening and good food. She had many close and life-long friends who she considered family. Barbara had both a refined taste for the finer things in life, and an appreciation for finding joy in life’s costless luxuries. She inspired and encouraged in her children a deep love for things that move the human spirit; music, fine-art, travel and an appreciation for the beauty of the natural world.
