Funeral services for Gladys M. Dye were held on Monday, May 10, 2021, at Owens Memorial Chapel in Ruston.
She was later buried in Driskill Memorial Cemetery in Simsboro, under the direction of Owens Memorial Chapel Funeral Home of Ruston. Mrs. Dye was born Gladys Marie Potts on December 23, 1922, to sharecroppers Annie and Ellis Potts. Raised during the depression era Gladys was no stranger to hard work and commented to her family many times how hard and painful picking cotton could be.
Mrs. Dye was widowed twice in her lifetime – her first husband, James Driskill, and her second husband, Chris Dye; and sadly, also preceded in death by her three children (Sarah, Tommy, and JoAnn).

“When I heard decisions had been released, I filmed a reaction video of myself with not much initial enthusiasm as I logged in,” Pablo said. “I quickly started freaking out as soon as I saw the words ‘Congratulations! You Have Been Matched!’ appear on my screen. I frantically began to call and message people about the news. I had done it! No amount of mental preparation could have done justice to the pure bliss that I felt over the next couple of days.”
