Gloristine “Bunch” Wells Stamps was born
to the late Eddie Wells and Ada West Wells on October 14, 1931 in Hinds County.
Unspoken words of Bunch: When God breathe life into me he had a mission for me to fulfill. As a child I was introduced to Christ by my parents, “Papa” and “Lady”. At an early age, I joined the Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church in Edwards, Mississippi under the leadership of Pastor C.D. Brown on September 28, 1941. I served faithfully as a junior choir member, Sunday school and Church Secretary until my health failed. I attended Mt. Moriah School and Southern Christian Institute in Edwards, Mississippi. I worked at Edwards Elementary and Junior High School for thirty years as the cafeteria manager upon retiring in 1994. I married
Oliver L. Stamps in 1974. To this union, there were no children.
Gloristine departed this life on April 4, 2012 at 2:00 a.m. at the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi. She was preceded in death by one sister and seven brothers.
She leaves behind to cherish her beloved family, her husband, Oliver L. Stamps of Edwards, Mississippi; one brother, Johnnie L. Wells of Burgaw, North Carolina; two sisters, Alma J. Powell and Sylvia V. Bennett both of Edwards, Mississippi; a niece she reared as her daughter, Eddie Mae Powell Barnes; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
For God as her refuge, her battle is over. Her earthly mission is complete. So rejoice in her homegoing, mourn her not, cry tears of joy. For now she’s free, thank God she’s free; no longer bound; no more chains holding her. Her soul is resting, it’s such a blessing. Thank God Hallelujah, she’s FREE….
