I just saw this late Wednesday night. Sammie I am so sorry about your loss. I first met Gloria when I was very young. Gloria worked with my mother, Ella Mae Goodwin, at McCroy Dime Store. Later after I got married she was working at the A&P where we bought our groceries for many years. Then later on she worked at the REA where I paid our light bills. I also went to church at Memorial for several years. Gloria was a very sweet person. My deepest sympathy goes out to you Sammie & all the family. God bless you always.

Dear Folks, I have just now read the obituary. Your Mom was one more special lady. I remember when I lived next door to she and Mr. Gunter on Westmont. They were always so helpful to me and willing to help me in anyway possible. I really did love her and I know she will be missed by all........

Having hospitalized for the entire week,I just learned of this sweet lady's passing. As a young man,my late husband worked with her at the grocery store. I had the pleasure of getting to know her through her job at Aiken Electric. She was a true southern soul willing to share her smile and friendship. I am sorry for your loss.She touched many people's lives .
