Eloise Gilreath

Mrs. Gilreath was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Ray Gilreath, in 2002, as well as her siblings, Marvine Shore, Charlie Huskins, John Huskins, Mary Leachman, James Huskins, and Oscar Huskins.

She is survived by her loving children, Connie Carlan and Jeff Gilreath (Sandy); her granddaughters, Crystal Philliber (Ryan) and Kelly Henderson ; her brothers, Bill Huskins (Marilyn) and Joel Huskins (Lillie); as well as several great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, and cousins.

Eloise was known for her mischievous and spunky spirit. She loved to laugh, was a natural jokester, and never hesitated to share her outspoken and opinionated nature. Throughout her life, she was a devoted caregiver to many family members, a role she carried with love and dedication for most of her adult years.

She found joy in yard work and gardening, canning, cooking, and spending time talking on the phone with those she loved. Eloise also enjoyed traveling, especially trips to the beach, boating on the ocean, and taking cruises.

Above all, Eloise cherished her family and treasured every moment spent with them. Her presence, laughter, and love will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

The family will also visit on Saturday, March 28, 2026 beginning at 10am with a Celebration of Eloise’s Life at 11am from the chapel of Owen Funeral Home with Dennis Huskins and Allan Huskins officiating.
