Aunt Gogie was a lovely person who brought light and laughter to our home. We shared many stories while she lived in Kerrville and she always looked for the best in family and friends. Van Edwards june 12.2020

I got to meet and visit with Gloria a few years ago when the Jefferson High School Lassos history was presented at the Bullock Museum in Austin as part of a special exhibit. What a joy that was. I have thought fondly of that day often since. Truly a lady.

My Aunt Gogie was my first experience of glamour. She was movie-star beautiful and I adored and admired her always. Her beauty was not just appearance, but came from her loving heart and soul. Rest in peace, sweet Gogie.

I knew Gloria when she lived at Patriot Heights, always enjoyed her company. She was a sweet, beautiful lady. In my mind's eye I see her and Dick with their crowns when they crowned Valentine king and queen.

Gloria Williams was the best possible Aunt I could ever have, and she and my father were very close for all their lives. She lived a very full life and we will miss her for many many years.
