Gloria Crowell passed from this life peacefully during her sleep on Sunday June 23, 2024. Gloria was born August 20, 1934, to Andrew and “Miss Winnie” Williams in Fairdale. She was married to Bill Crowell September 29, 1952, and they had celebrated 71 years of marriage. She and Bill were devout Christians and attended Hillcrest Baptist Church in Jasper. Gloria lived her entire life in East Texas where she spent many years working at Mary Dickerson Hospital. She loved to be around people which fueled her desire to hold a job well past retirement age. She was the driver behind her and Bill remodeling several homes during their years together. Her abundance of energy was used for remodeling, interior decorating, and making her yard beautiful with numerous flowerbeds of various flowers and plants.

She loved family gatherings and sponsored numerous ones, whether at her home in Jasper or at her “second home” in Eureka, where Philip let her decorate to heart’s content. She loved decorating homes and did so at every opportunity. Her children learned that you didn’t attempt to sit in the dark because the chair or sofa may have moved since you last sat there.

She was the devoted wife of Bill Crowell who preceded her in death on January 15, 2024. She was also preceded in death by Randy, one sister, Hazel Cudd, and a sister-in-law, Faye, her son, Troy, and her husband, Gene Pridgen.

She is survived by Philip, Pam, one grandson, Clay and his wife, Kathy, nephews, Mike Cudd, David and Jeff Harper and Buddy Crowell, the Cudd nieces, Karen, Ramona, & Peggy, the Harper nieces, Jessica and DeeDee and Phyliss Crowell. Services are pending at Starr Funeral Home.
