Anita Glidewell Wamsley

Anita Glidewell Wamsley, 87, formerly of Burnsville, Mississippi, died on Saturday, June 18, 2022, at Piedmont Newnan Hospital in Newnan, GA. She moved to Georgia in 2014 to be near family and was a member of Providence Baptist Church. Before moving, she was a longtime member of Iuka Baptist Church where she sang in the choir, organized the choir music, helped with Bible school, and volunteered many other ways as needed.

Throughout her life, Mrs. Wamsley was a homemaker, loved to cook, and was an avid seamstress, both as a profession and at home.

Reading was a passion of hers, and she read every novel that John Grisham wrote. She loved her grandchildren and her great-grandchildren, as she became known as “Great-gran.”

Mrs. Wamsley was preceded in death by her husband, L.A. Wamsley. She is survived by her son, Bryan Wamsley (Maureen); her two grandchildren, Marilyn DeLong (Joshua) and Adam Wamsley (Cayla); and her eight great-grandchildren, Loralye, Wesley, Logan, and Andrew DeLong, and Noah, Emma Charlotte, Ethan, and Landon Wamsley.
