My Aunt Gloria was such a beautiful, caring lady, my mother's best friend. Their childhood was such beautiful memories for them and my family. We loved her and what she stood for. She was a powerful woman when the times did not allow. She survived through very rough times for her and her family. She endured alot. My mother, Sue, her sister worshipped her, and always will. I know she is with all our loved ones now, her beautiful parents and more. Miss you Aunt Gloria!! I love you!

My mother was the most loving "Southern Belle" a person could meet. She was a pioneer in rights for women without even knowing it. She loved to play Bridge and other card games. She was loving, caring and the strongest person I have ever known. Her parents influence on her was seen daily and she passed that on to her granddaughter, Blair, and me. She taught both of us not to judge others and to be kind. She fought a long hard fight for the last six months and trusted me to make the hardest decisions I have ever made. Blair and I made sure that she lived her last days on Earth with the dignity she so deserved.

Thank you for your statements and feelings regarding my wonderful mother.

I love you mother and will always miss you.

Dear Sherry and family,
I am so saddened to hear of Gloria's passing. I worked with her over 30 yrs. ago at, then, Coosa Valley Bank. She was a wonderful supervisor and friend. I had lost touch with her over the years,and often wondered where she was and how she was doing. I am grateful to know that she was with family. She was such a dear friend and really a mentor to a very young woman starting out in life. Kind, considerate,loving and special. I will always remember her with love and fondness. God bless you and your family and Sue and hers.
Always,
Joy Dollar(Barber)
