Gladis Rachel Tate of Harrison, AR
March 1, 1949 - May 18, 2021
Gladis Rachel Tate, age 72, of Harrison, Arkansas, passed away Tuesday, May 18, 2021, at her residence, with her loving family by her side. She was born March 1, 1949, in Forty Four, Arkansas, to Hermon and Edith Maye (Blankenship) Morehead. She was preceded in death by her parents and her brother-in-law, Jeff Mitchell.
Gladis was of the Baptist faith. She enjoyed crochet work, sewing, and was a former Izard County 4-H member and Redbud EHC Club member. She worked in a shirt factory in Izard County; was a flower designer at Country Palace Gift Shop; and a home health aide for over 25 years. She loved going to rodeos and hunting any local game. She also enjoyed searching for rocks and arrowheads. She was a cake decorator and always made chocolate chip cookies for her grandkids. She would slam on her brakes if she saw a yard sale that she didn't know about and rarely missed an auction. Her family was her world and kept her going every day.
Gladis is survived by her daughter, Rachel Hickman, of Harrison; six grandchildren and their spouses, Cody and Matt Shreve of Jonesboro, Arkansas, Brittney and Jacob Creamer of Harrison, Stephanie Shreve and her fiancé, Albert Munyon, of Harrison, Emma Shreve of Harrison, Micah Hickman, Jr. of Harrison, and Avary Hickman of Harrison.
