Gloria Jean White Edwards

 Gloria Jean White Edwards, age 78, passed away Saturday, September 12, 2026, at the Baptist Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi.

Visitation will be the day of the service at Massey Funeral Home from 1 p.m. until service time. Interment will immediately follow the service in Memorial Cemetery.

Gloria was born April 1, 1948, to Coy White, Sr., and Betty Stevenson White. She enjoyed any outside activity; especially gardening. Gloria could grow anything and was known for her “green thumb.” She also enjoyed cooking for her family. Her nickname was “Aunt GoGo” because she was always ready to make a trip!

Gloria is survived by her devoted companion, Joe N. Flores; and her children: Dachelle Murphy (Morgan); James Gerald Edwards, III; and Melissa Ann Key all of Louisville. One of her greatest joys was being “Mamaw” to her four grandchildren: Zachary Neil Hobby, Matthew David Key, Dalton Wayne Key, and James Gerald Edwards, IV. She is also survived by her great-grandchildren: Walker Leon Hobby, Axel Edwards, Bryson White, Hailey Nicole Key, Matthew David Key, Jr., Madelyn Leigh Key, and Derrick Zane Key; in addition to a host of nieces, nephews, other family members, and friends. She was preceded in death by her parents; two sisters, Betty York and Margaret Eaves; and four brothers, Rickey White, Charles White, Coy White, Jr., and Tommy White.

Serving as pallbearers are Matthew Key, Daniel Murphy, Matt Boykin, James Edwards, IV, Gideon White, and Lamar Horton.
