MS. GLADYS RUTH PAULDO LEVIT
A Celebration of Life Memo- rial Service for Ms. Gladys Ruth Pauldo Levit will be held on Sat- urday, July 14, 2018, at 10 a. m. at First Baptist Church of Progress Village, 8722 Progress Blvd., Tampa, Florida, with Dr. Sam Maxwell, Senior Teaching Pastor officiating.
Gladys Ruth Pauldo Levit was born February 13, 1946 in Cordele, GA to the parentage of Freddie Pauldo and Floretta Hodge. Gladys was a graduate of Blake High School, Tampa, FL.
Gladys was a longtime mem- ber of The First Baptist Church of Progress Village and because of her deep love for God and His Word, she was active in Tuesday and Sunday Morning Bible Study. She was also active with the Community High Noon Prayer Band. She worked dili- gently in the ministry until her health would no longer permit.
Gladys Ruth Pauldo Levit was granted her angel wings on July 4, 2018, at her Tampa home. Her final days were spent surrounded by family and friends that Gladys had touched in some way throughout her very memorable life.
Gladys’ kitchen was NEVER closed to neighboring children, family and friends and she could always be counted on to “en- courage” others to believe in God. She was well known in find- ing happiness and joy from the simple things. She could find hearts in rocks and angels in the clouds where others would have missed in the blink of an eye.
She will always be remem- bered as a loving mother, grand- mother, great-grand mother and aunt, whose greatest passion was helping others, and her love for God. She leaves us rich and loving memories which include a smile that would light up any room.
Gladys was predeceased by: her parents, Freddie Pauldo and Floretta Hodge; brothers, Char- lie Pauldo, Freddie Pauldo, David Pauldo and Lonnie Hodge; and sister, Alice Jackson.
Gladys leaves to cherish lov- ing memories with: her 3 chil- dren, Bridgette Royal, Angela Levit-King and Thomas Larry Douglas Levit; 7 loving grand- children; great-grandchildren; 3 sisters, Geneva Walker, Laura Dupont (Jerome) and Floretta Daniel (Willie); nieces, nephews, cousins and a host of other sor- rowing relatives and friends.
