Ms. Gazella L. Stallworth
Gazella Stallworth was the third child born to Arthur and Clara G. Hendrieth Sr. on April 27, 1927 in Brewton (Escambia County), Alabama. She attended Boykin School and later Southern Normal High School. She joined Old Springhill Primitive Baptist Church at an early age. She later became a member of Greater Pine Grove Baptist Church. She met and married Clarence Stallworth and they had 60 years together. To this union two children were born, Jerrie Stallworth and Clara Marie Stallworth.
Gazella enjoyed keeping curtains made for the church kitchen. Even in her long years of being disabled, she gave whatever she could to help support the church. She had a passion for collecting what-not’s and believe me she has some what-not’s. She also enjoyed working with her flowers and small garden. She was a very private person and didn’t get to know too many people. She will be missed by all.
Her husband, Clarence Stallworth; daughter, Clara Stallworth Brown; two sisters, Artherine Smith and Climmintine Richards; three brothers, Clarence Hendrieth, Arthur Hendrieth Jr. and Joe Lewis Hendrieth, all preceded her in death.
She leaves to cherish her memories one daughter, Jerrie Stallworth; one sister, Edna East Jones; one brother, Mark (Lillie) Hendrieth; three grandchildren, Shawn (Sheree) Stallworth of Pensacola, FL, Johnny (Adell) Brown of Atlanta, GA and Andre’ Brown of Demons, Iowa; one sister-in-law, Gussie Harris; great grandchildren, Ashiya Stallworth, Jashawn Stallworth, Ayanna Dale, S-Mya Dale, AuBriana Brown, Ahmaud Brown and Zoie Brown; two great-great grandchildren, Brienne Powell and Khennedy Powell; a god-daughter, Ashanti Mitchell; a very devoted friend who they both adopted each other as mom and daughter, Amy Lane and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
