Mrs. Allie Elizabeth Gilliam

December 10, 1928 - September 29, 2021

The world lost a beloved Mother and Grandmother “Nanny” on Wednesday, September 29, 2021. Allie (“Lib”) was born in Jackson County, Alabama on December 10, 1928. An avid reader, she amassed hundreds of books and read them all. She also loved tending her beautiful flowers, vegetable gardening, canning, cooking wonderful meals, and giving the best hugs. She loved her church family at House of Prayer Church on Crow Mountain. Her children and grandchildren were her greatest pride and joy. She was surrounded by her children as she peacefully passed into eternity. She is preceded in death by her husband, Marion Gilliam; her daughter, Donna Gilliam; and her father, Thomas Light Sr. She is survived by her sister, Virginia Norbet; her children, Susan (Dewey) Davis, Mike (Brenda) Gilliam, Betty (Jackie) Parcus, Thomas (JoAnne) Gilliam, Sheilla (Keith) Boland, Leonard (Rhonda) Gilliam, and Barbara (Tom Simmons) Gilliam; fourteen grandchildren, twenty great-grandchildren, six great-great-grandchildren, and numerous nieces, nephews, and friends. The family will have a private memorial service, and friends are invited to the graveside service at Pinehaven Memorial Gardens in Hollywood, Alabama on Saturday, October 2, 2021 at 3:00 p.m. She battled cancer on several occasions, but it never overcame her positive spirit and deep faith. A charitable giver with a kind and generous heart to all, she would have been honored with donations in her name to your favorite charity, the American Cancer Society or MD Anderson Cancer Center, in lieu of flowers.
