Laverne Dykes

April 20, 1932 - January 15, 2021

Gloria 'Laverne' Dykes, age 88 of Conyers, died Friday, January 15, 2021. She was preceded in death by her parents, Harvey and Cleo Anglin, ex-husband, David Lamar Dykes and sister, Elizabeth Anglin. She is survived by her daughters and sons-in-law, Leslie and Leland Alliston, Tonya and Scott Simpkins; grandchildren, Kylie and fiance' Allan, Shelly and Shayna Alliston, Sallie, A.J., David, sister, Betty Moseley; and several nieces and nephews. Laverne was a devoted mother and grandmother and loved to be around her family. Her family was her life. Laverne was an avid Elvis fan, a talented artist and a fabulous cook; and was well known for her annual New Year’s Day meal that she would serve to her family and friends. Laverne had a special bond with her sister, Betty Moseley, as they spent many hours together painting, playing cards and traveling to many destinations around the world. Laverne will always be remembered for her beautiful smile, uplifting attitude and the genuine love that she gave to others. She was a lifelong Christian and a member of the First Baptist Church in Stockbridge, Georgia.
