The Barnett family matriarch has passed on to join her dear husband, John. Gloria had open arms and a generous heart. She loved keeping in touch with friends near and far. She will be sorely missed by neighbors, friends and especialy her family. Jim and I send our deepest sympathy to her family. Jim and Beverly

Gloria was a very special person - always happy and laughing. She was my babysitter when I was young and my siblings and I were all in her wedding. After our move to Ga. She always stayed in touch and her 2 youngest were in my wedding. She visited frequently and was always fun to be around. Heaven is a happier place with Gloria there and she is reunited with her husband and parents. We love you and will miss you!

This wonderful lady will be missed by all of us who knew and loved her. I’ll miss our phone calls and lunches where we shared stories of our grandchildren. She was always happy and fun to be around. I was honored to be her lifelong friend and thought we had more time. I’m so very sad. Rest in peace sweet Gloria.??
