Obituary of Gloria Wilkinson Overstreet

~Gloria Wilkinson Overstreet, 89, widow of Earl Overstreet, went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, October 25, 2017.

Mrs. Overstreet was born in Thomasville, AL to the late Richard William Wilkinson and Jeffie Mae Morgan Wilkinson. With Earl, she relocated to Simpsonville in 1968. She retired as the owner and operator of Hearts & Flowers Interiors and was a member of Simpsonville First Baptist Church. Gloria enjoyed golfing, playing bridge, cooking and baking. Because of her business and personal tastes, Mom was a shopper who had a keen eye for style and value. She could spot a deal, but she most certainly enjoyed the hunt as well.

Surviving are a son, Rickey Overstreet and wife Miriam; a daughter, Judy White and husband Vernon; two grandchildren, David White and wife Luisa, and Sara Grace Byers and husband Jason; two great-granddaughters, Miranda and McKenzie White; a dear nephew; Jeff Gibson; and a dear niece, Cindy Spillers. She was predeceased by two brothers, Richard and Billy Wilkinson; and three sisters, Louise Gibson, Dorothy Nell Coate, and May “Dig” Parker.

Funeral services will be 2 p.m. Saturday in the Chapel of Simpsonville First Baptist Church, officiated by Rev. Steve Genoble. The family will receive friends immediately following the service. Burial will be in Cannon Memorial Park.

Memorials may be made to Simpsonville First Baptist Church, 3 Hedge Street, Simpsonville, SC 29681; or to McArn Food Bank, P.O. Box 372, Cheraw, SC 29520.
