Ms. Gloria Patton Fearn was born on September 1, 1951, in LaFayette, Alabama, to the late Annie Pearl Billingslea and Jim Earnest Billingslea.
Gloria departed this life on Wednesday, June 3, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of love, kindness, and service.
Gloria graduated from Lanett High School and earned her degree from Alabama A&M in Huntsville, Alabama. She proudly served in the United States Army for 17 years where she worked as a Finance Specialist.
Family was her greatest joy. She was a devoted mother to Chrystle D. Session and Amber N. Brooks; a loving grandmother to Taija D. Session and Ximarie I. Woody; a proud great-grandmother to Amyus K. Glasco; and an amazing aunt to Jacque McCoy, Amanda McCoy, and Alfonza Edwards Jr.
She shared a close bond with her sisters, Americus McCoy and Marjorie Edwards, especially enjoying trips and special moments together. She was also blessed with the love and support of her brothers-in-love, Earl McCoy and Alfonza Edwards.
Known for her warm heart and generous spirit, Gloria never met a stranger. Her home was the center of holiday gatherings, always filled with love, laughter, and family.
Gloria will be deeply missed and forever remembered by all who knew and loved her.
Lovingly remembered and forever cherished.

My condolences to the family. Love you guys.
To Crystal and Amber,
Your mother was my battle buddy in Korea. We had so much fun, laughing to make the best of the assignment we had no control over. I could not have asked for a better roommate. Always know your mother will always be with you in spirit. So keep on being the beautiful, intelligent ladies she raised you to be. Love always, Ms Susan Ruffin Smith
Our hearts and prayers are with the family.
Family, I was so sorry to hear of the passing of Gloria. I have fond memories of a summer long ago that she, uncle George and I spent with Aunt Americus and Uncle Earl in Indianapolis. May God bless and comfort you during these times. Love you
