Evelyn Glover (1919 - 2011)

Evelyn Mayfield Glover, 91, and longtime resident of Melbourne, died August 30, 2011.

Her ashes will be placed in Gainesville, Ga. beside her husband, Joe, and at Holy Trinity Chapel with her friends. Mrs. Glover was born in Cumming, Ga. October 18, 1919. She went to Gainesville High School and graduated in 1937. She attended Georgia Womens College, for one year before she married her high school sweetheart, Joe Glover, Jr,. on November 21, 1939. She was married 35 years before Joe's death in 1970.

Evelyn and Joe moved to Florida in 1946 and established Glover Oil in 1950. After Joe's death in 1970 she and son, Joe, kept GOC going. She worked until she was 83 years old. She loved and was very proud of the business her late husband had left her. The center of her life was her family and friends. She had an outgoing personality and a great sense of humor. She loved to dance and never turned down a bowl of ice cream. She enjoyed traveling, the theater, playing bridge and the North Georgia Mountains where she was born.
