Gertrude worked at Burke’s Bakery for over 30 years during which she made the donuts, cakes, and pastries you all love. She was also an excellent knitter and left behind many throws her family will treasure for years to come. She was a devout Christian and member of Southern Avenue Baptist Church.

She is survived by her five loving children: Pam Muncy (Lucian), Donna Grant (Mike), Melinda Goins, Flo Downs, and Keith McGuffey (Julie). Her nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren will remember her always as their “Nana” and “Grandma Guff.”
