November 4, 1917 — April 17, 2013
In addition to her husband and parents, she was predeceased by her daughter, Bessie G. Adams and her husband William Adams of Savannah, GA and also her only brother, Leroy Knight of Girard, GA.
She is survived by her children and their spouses: Jerrie G. and Joe Chiodo of Farrell, PA., Henry and Sylvia Glisson of Girard, Henrietta G. Carmack of Girard, and Jane G. and Terry Syms of Waynesboro.
She was blessed with nine grandchildren: Troy (Kay) Smith of Waynesboro, Danny Rabold of Farrell, PA.; Ashlynn (Scott) Boley of Savannah, William (Vanessa) Adams, Jr. of Clive, Iowa, Elizabeth French of Savannah; Gerald (Qiu Yan) Carmack of Augusta; Warren (Brandi) Glisson of Augusta; Melissa Stafford of Evans, GA., and Bud North III of Macon, GA.

She married at the age of 21 and joined her husband on the Glisson farm. She was a faithful farmer's wife until she became ill and moved to Brentwood in 2002. She was so proud that her only son Henry and his wife Sylvia continue to operate the family farm.
Mrs. Glisson was the oldest member of Bethany United Methodist Church in Girard. She was a devoted mother to her five children (including "her twins" Henry and Henrietta) and a loving grandmother. She was a true southern lady and a wonderful cook.
