Gloria L. Hunter, age 81, of Jasper, FL. passed away at her home on Wednesday, December 16, 2015.

Funeral services were held Saturday, Dec. 19, 2015, at the First Baptist Church in White Springs, Florida. Interment followed at Prospect Primitive Baptist Church.

Gloria was a native and lifelong resident of Hamilton County. She was born on January 31, 1934, to the late Henry Bordus Lewis and his wife Mamie Hayes Lewis. Gloria later married Clyde B. Hunter and they began their new life on the family farm. Together they reared five daughters who worked along with their parents to make a living and the best life any children could ever have had. Gloria will be remembered by many from the years she spent driving the school bus for the Hamilton County School System. Others will remember her role in their life as Momma, "Ma-Ma", loving wife, great cook, part- time farmer and sometimes drill sergeant. She loved spending time with her children and grandchildren as well as with her many wonderful friends. She was a crafter of beautiful crocheted blankets, often gifting her creations to newborns. She was known to not only have an opinion, but to share it. There was much laughter in the Hunter home and memories of happy days are abundant. Gloria was preceded in death by her husband, Clyde B. Hunter, their twin sons, her parents, and her two brothers, William H. Lewis and Charles F. Lewis. Ms. Hunter was a faithful member of First Baptist Church in White Springs.

Survivors include daughters, Amelia Hunter Tompkins and her husband Jim, Jasper, FL., Jan Hunter Harris, Live Oak, FL., Cindy Hunter Goolsby and her husband Wayne, Jasper, FL., Clyda Hunter Griner and her husband Jerry, Jasper, FL. and Gretchen Hunter Goolsby, Live Oak, FL.; eleven grandchildren and five great grandchildren.
