Gloria Richardson Beach went to her Heavenly reward, surrounded by her loving family, on December 28, 2019 at her home. She had been under hospice care for a short period of time.

Gloria was born on October 11, 1936 to Frank and Beatrice Johnson Richardson in Grenada County, Mississippi. She was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Belzoni, Mississippi. She worked for a period of time at Jockey International, and as a sales person for Turner's Drug Store and Mr. Quick. She enjoyed most of her life serving as a homemaker raising her children and making memories with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

To know Gloria was to love her. She always had a smile on her face, which made her dimples shine. Her sense of humor was out of this world, she loved to laugh and see others laughing. She loved to go dancing with her husband, James, whom she was married to for 64 years before his death in 2016. Gloria was one of those mothers who loved to have her daughters and their friends over to her house so she could spoil them as much as she did her girls. Later on in life, when she became a Nanny, she to loved and spoil her grandchildren as much as she had their mothers.

Gloria was preceded in death by her parents, Frank Richardson and Beatrice Williams, her loving husband, James E. Beach, a sister, Peggy Jean Williams and two brothers, Jerry Wayne Williams and Larry Joe Williams. Left to cherish their times with their mother are her daughters, Debbie Beach Kelly of Belzoni and Libby Beach Acy of Coila, Mississippi.
