GLORIA JEAN FREEMAN

GLORIA JEAN FREEMAN, a cherished soul, fell asleep in death on September 14, 2025, leaving behind an indelible mark on the hearts of those who knew her. Born on September 24, 1945, in the vibrant city of Shreveport, Louisiana, Gloria exemplified dedication and loyalty throughout her remarkable life.

A devoted wife for 60 loving years, Gloria stood steadfastly beside her husband, Earnest Freeman along with her son Kerry Freeman and her daughter, Angela Freeman and her stepdaughter, Harise Butler, both of whom preceded her in death. Together, they created a bond that withstood the tests of time, a testament to their unwavering commitment to one another. Her spirit radiated warmth, and she was the embodiment of a true friend, never meeting a stranger, always welcoming, and ready to extend kindness, laughter, and a helping hand.

Gloria's passions were as plentiful as the blooms in her cherished garden, where she cultivated not only flowers but also vegetables, nurturing life in every imaginable way. Her love for cooking filled the air with enticing aromas, most notably her beloved Honeybun Cake, a delicious creation that never failed to delight family and friends alike. A true epicurean at heart, her kitchen was a sanctuary where love was infused into every dish, creating memories to be savored.

Beyond her culinary talents, Gloria had an adventurous spirit, often seeking out new places and experiences through traveling. Each trip was an opportunity for discovery, enriching her life and broadening her horizon. Yet, her proudest accomplishments were rooted deeply at home—with her marriage, her children, and her profound dedication to Jehovah.

The narrative of Gloria's life weaves through the memories shared by all who loved her. As a devoted mother, she embodied nurturing and compassion, planting the seeds of wisdom and strength in her children. Her legacy will continue to blossom in the stories they share and the virtues they carry forth.

Gloria was preceded in death by her parents Ozzie B. and Virginia Harrison, her four brothers, George H. Harrison, Roosevelt Harrison and Andrew Harrison, Otis Harrison; her five sisters Y-Zie Harrison, Lossie M. Dyas, Alice Harrison, Juanita Pugh and Alistine Owens; her daughter Angela Freeman; and her stepdaughter, Harise Butler.

Gloria leaves to mourn her loving husband of 60 years Earnest Freeman, her son Kerry Freeman, her sisters Ruby M. Bolden, Atlean Snow (William) of Shreveport, LA and Helen G. Baker of Los Angeles, CA along with grandchildren, nieces, nephews, relatives and beloved friends.

Gloria had many spiritual daughters, sons, sisters and brothers, all of which loved her very much.

Though she has fallen asleep in death, the love she shared and the light she brought into the lives of many will forever remain, shining brightly in their hearts.

A memorial service to celebrate her beautiful life will be held on September 28, 2025, at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in Dallas, Texas, beginning at 10:00 AM, where friends and family will gather to honor the extraordinary spirit of Gloria Jean Freeman. Though she has fallen asleep in death, the love she shared and the light she brought into the lives of many will forever remain, shining brightly in their hearts.
