Gloria Louise Atteberry, aged 86 years, of Clifton passed away at a Clifton nursing facility on Wednesday, September 19, 2018. She was born on the 18th day of August 1932 in Garfield, Washington to Hugh and Irma (Haight) Jocobs.

During her earlier years Gloria met Leland Clyde Atteberry. In San Antonio, Texas the two would be united in marriage in 1953 and spend the next 6 decades together until Leland’s passing. Gloria and Leland built a family together and would eventually add 3 sons and a daughter to their home.

To the folks that knew Gloria the word generous would have to come to mind. She was a regular donor to the Shepard’s Heart organization and loved helping those that were less fortunate than her. She was a loving mother and grandmother as family meant the world to her. Gloria was an avid quilter when she was able to and enjoyed working in her garden and flowerbeds. She was also a very active member of her local AARP and was a member of the Lorena Garden Club for many years. Gloria lived in Lorena for over 23 years before moving closer to family.

Gloria is preceded in death by her husband Leland, 1 son David Atteberry as well as 2 brothers K and Vince Jacobs.

Gloria leaves behind to cherish her memory 2 sons Phillip Atteberry of Austin and Rodger Atteberry of Waco and 1 daughter Judy Melendy of Pagosa Springs, Colorado. She also leaves 3 sisters Jean Corbitt of Redfield, Arkansas and Betty Carey and Faith Lawrence both of Medford, Oregon. Gloria is also survived by her 9 grandchildren Christopher, Aimee, Amanda and Stephen Melendy and Cherie Ford as well as Stephanie Kingrey, Stephan McCollum, Alyssa Berryhill and Shaun Atteberry. 5 great-grandchildren are also left behind to help carry her legacy to future generations.
