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 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.

My condolences at the passing of Gladis. She was a friend and a help to me for several years. I particularly admired her for her untiring concerns for her next two generations. She was a good person, and shall certainly be missed.

My Nana was my best friend and my rock. She was the strongest, most stubborn, and most kindhearted person I ever knew. She fought so hard even to the very end. I’m so happy I’ve got to spend these last few months with her. I love you and miss you so much Nana!
