Georgia Gregory
Jodie Gregory, 81 from Farmington, New Mexico, passed away at her home on April 24, 2009. Born in Owosso, Michigan, on January 4, 1928, to Claire and Nina Longstreet, Jodie will be remembered with great joy and love by her family, friends, and all who knew her.
Jodie grew up in Michigan where she married Larry Williams, who passed away in an auto accident in 1955. Her first son, Dennis Alan Williams, served honorably in the United States Army and died on the battlefields of Vietnam. Her second son, James Lee Williams passed away accidentally in Farmington, NM in 1979. Her third son, Rusty Williams, resides in Farmington.
In 1956, Jodie married Ellis Gregory. In 1959, the family moved to Oceanside, CA and over the next 18 years lived in several cities before finally settling down in Farmington.
Jodie's love of music was enjoyed by many. She played piano and organ for her family and she and Ellis entertained Farmington as members of the popular "Hillbilly Band". She was also an accomplished artist in oil, and was known for her beautiful still life and landscape paintings.
Jodie's tender heart and boundless love for family and friends will be remembered by those who knew her. She was preceded in death by her father, Claire Longstreet; sister, Maxine Wing; sons, Dennis and James Williams; and grand-daughter Christiane Williams.
