GLADYS POSEY

Gladys Posey, 94, of Andalusia, passed away on Wed., Aug. 14, 2013, at her home in Andalusia.

She was born in 1918 to Elmer O. and Tisie Cook Hill in Crenshaw County. She was the widow of her husband of 61 years, William Crayton “Bill” Posey, who died in 2000.

She is survived by her two sons, Danny Ross (Barbara) Posey of Andalusia and Gary Martin (Brenda) Posey of Panama City, Fla., and three brothers, Bobby Hill of Andalusia, Lister “Elmo” Hill of Andalusia and Billy Hill of Brantley. She would perhaps be proudest to also be survived by eight grandsons and 10 great-grandchildren who loved their granny, benefited from her immense generosity, and craved her cooking which was among her passions.

Among her siblings, she outlived her sister and brothers, Grace Joyner, Joe Hill and Jack Hill.

Gladys and her husband, Bill, were also known for their spiritual strength and were equally generous to their various church families as well.

Those who mourn Gladys, also celebrate her life, which was long and well lived and warmed in its twilight by a large family’s love and a spiritual peace through her devotion to God.

Her life will be remembered today, Sat., Aug. 17, at 11 a.m., at Foreman Funeral Home, followed by burial in Andalusia Memorial Cemetery, where she will be laid to rest alongside her husband, Bill.

Visitation will be held at the funeral home one hour prior to the service.

Pallbearers will be her many grandsons, Steve Posey, Scott Posey, Marty Posey, Ryan Posey, Shannon Posey, Cory Posey, Clint Posey and Jody Posey.

Honorary pallbearers will be her great-grandsons.

Before her death, and in keeping with her generosity, Gladys requested that in lieu of flowers, remembrances be made to a faith-based charity of one’s choice.

The extended Posey family is also so very grateful to Ms. Felicia Cook, Ms. Margie Elmore, and Ms. Emogene Colvin. Their warm compassion as assisting caregivers will always be remembered by the family

Lois Hunt of Winter Haven, Fla., and Jeanette South of St. Petersburg, Fla.; and several nieces and nephews.
