Gloria Elder Obituary

In Loving Memory Of Gloria Lee Cousins Elder February 14, 1936 - June 7, 2006. How we miss you! We had to say goodbye; but only to your vessel; NEVER to your spirit, love or charismatic smile. Mama, we can still hear you calling our names; Dear God, nothing will ever be the same. Beautiful angel; symbol of love. Now you watch us from up above. You always had the best advice; words of wisdom to share. When it came to God's word, you'd tell it anywhere. With Everlasting Love, Betty, Angela, Savannah, JAE and James III

God, in His ultimate wisdom...Looked down from the heavens above; and gave us you, Big Mom, to teach us His goodness and everlasting love.
For all that you did. Tucked in your arms when I was a kid.
So many lessons you tried to teach before I REALLY understood: Then I realized, it was all good.
"Always watch your Ps & Qs"...Now I have such different views..."A stich in time saves 9"...Oh-that's why I had to throw away that torn shirt of mine...
Thank you, momma, for hanging in there with me.Thank you for praying with me, teaching me, and introducing me to Jesus Chirst. But most of all, thank you for being my momma!
Love beyond a lifetime!
Your "Rita-Pita"; Savannah

Dear Betty,
Altho' I didn't know your mother, I feel blessed to share the legacy she left in her beautiful daughters. Your mom was faithful in fulfilling God's call on her life to raise God-filled children who continue to touch lives because of the love and teaching of Gloria Lee Cousins Elder. Let the legacy continue. I love you all.

To The Family: Betty always talked about her mother. She seemed like a wonderful person and she could sing!I know that she always made her smile. It was a sad day when she left. I remember it as if it was yesterday. May God Bless each and everyone of you. I know that your mom is in heaven still watching over all of you. May you find peace, joy and laughter in all of the good memories that you have.
