Gloria Robinson

Gloria Jean Robinson, 75, of Jackson and formerly of Poplar Bluff, Missouri, passed away Monday, Sept. 20, 2021, at her home.

Gloria was born Nov. 18, 1945, in Marietta, Georgia, to Dallas J. and Rhonda Boyd Prock Jr.

She graduated in 1963 from Jersey Community High School in Jerseyville, Illinois.

Her marriages produced four children, all of whom survive, Matt (Crystal) Shepard, Sarah Whiteside, Steve Gallamore and Mindy Gallamore. Also surviving are the true joys of her life, her grandchildren, Connor and Pierce Shepard, Grace (Chris) Jackson, Eli, Emma and Marissa Whiteside, and Jonah Gallamore.

Gloria spent her work life mostly in the medical field as a pharmacy technician and a medical biller. She thoroughly enjoyed cooking, reading, puzzles, tending to houseplants, and visiting with those she loved. She will be remembered for her smile, positive attitude and her kindness to others.

At her request, no funeral or memorial service will be held.

In lieu of a monetary memorial to any particular fund, please buy a wig/hat for a cancer patient where you live, or simply meet a need for someone you know. Extending kindness beyond her lifetime is the best way to honor her.

Ford and Sons Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
