Gloria E. Jelks

November 4, 1941 — September 22, 2022

Gloria E. Jelks, of Florida, went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, September 22, 2022.

Gloria was born on November 4, 1941 in Henderson, KY to the late Denson & Sally Parker.

She is survived by her children, Darryl Gee, Darnell (Tammy) Gee, Arthur (Jolene) Gee and Lenora (Kevin) Bollinger; grandchildren, Marci Massey, Lea Perkins, Arthur Perkins Jr., Barrett Darnell Gee Jr., Brian Gee, Kevin (Casey) Gee, Aaron Kirby, Amanda Kirby, Natasha Comer and Mariah Kolker; great-grandchildren, A'rajah Bullard, Akeem Bullard, Desiderio Gee, Arthur Perkins, Cason Taylor, Faith Couch, Kaito Taylor, Liam Lucas, Kayden Gee, Addilynn Gee, Jackson Gee, Bryson Gee, Zachary Gee, Rowan Gee, Keagan Gee and Luca Kirby; siblings, Louise (George) Burley, Eleanor (Anthony) Bess, Lorna (Raymond) Jenkins, Denson (Anna) Parker Jr., Raymond (Beverly) Parker, Leonard Parker, Beatrice (Curtis) Williams and Karen (Orlando) Gray; and many other relatives and friends. She will be missed by her many friends in Florida.

Gloria was her children's first best friend. She taught her sons how to be men and her daughter how to be a lady. Gloria was an extraordinary woman who will be remembered for being stern, loving, strong, kind, exciting and always encouraging. She enjoyed traveling and shopping-she was very stylish! Gloria was always very well put together. She was the rock of her family and will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Gloria's memory to the Pink Ribbon Girls.

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
He leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul;

He leadeth me on the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake,
Yea, though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For thou art with me; thy rod
and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou annointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
