Obituary: Gloria Storey Youngblood

Born on Aug. 7, 1930, in Meansville, Georgia, she graduated in 1948 from Zebulon High. Shortly thereafter, she married her beloved husband, Billy, in 1951 and moved to Winter Garden to begin their new life.

She was a longtime member of First United Methodist Church of Winter Garden. She lived her life with complete devotion to Billy, family and faith. Our family marks the passing of a wonderful woman of grace and beauty. 

She was preceded in death by her husband, Billy Youngblood, of 62 years.

She is survived by daughters, Susan Hodge (Mark), Sallie Youngblood, Sarah Youngblood and Billie Ruth Snell (Roy). She is also survived by her brothers, Edward Storey (Connie) and Bobby Storey (who is deceased); sister-in-law, Agnes Foote (Eddie); brother-in-law, Lewis Youngblood (Dottie); grandchildren, Mark Hodge Jr. (Amy), Billy Hodge (Christine), Matthew Hodge (Paula), Jason Youngblood (Jennifer), Gloria LaGiorgia and Elena LaGiorgia; and great-grandchildren, Cadie, Carson, Nolan, Collin, Walker and Waylon Hodge, and Tyler, Jason and Coltin Youngblood.

A Celebration of Life service was held at 11 a.m. Friday, April 10, 2015, at the First United Methodist Church of Winter Garden.
