Ms. Gentry was born November 29, 1941 in Louisville, MS. She worked in banking and property management. After retirement, she continued her hobby of gardening, which you could clearly see as soon as you drove up to her home. She also loved to cook meals, especially around the holiday times for her family. Most Saturdays, you’d see her bright and early at the local yard sales, where she would find many wonderful treasures. When you came to visit her at her home, she would always put on a pot of coffee for you to enjoy while you would sit and visit. She loved collecting angel figurines and each one had a special story behind them.
