Gloria Jean Lackey

Gloria Jean Lackey, 77, of Austin, passed away on Friday, November 17, 2023.  Gloria Jean Bryan, affectionately known as “Jean” was born on June 7, 1946, to Woodrow Wilson Bryan and Mary Bell Scott.  On January 6, 1973, Jean married Douglas Lackey, and the couple celebrated over 49 years of marriage before he passed away in April of 2022.

Jean worked for the Secretary of State of Texas as a clerk in the UCC office and as an Election Inspector, ensuring elections were run fairly.  After she finally retired, she took a part-time job with JC Pennys.

She was a faithful member of the Brentwood Oaks Church of Christ, First Baptist Church of Pflugerville, and the Round Rock Church of Christ.  At First Baptist, she enjoyed singing in the choir, serving on the hospitality committee and as a Sunday School Teacher.

Jean was an avid reader and loved working crossword puzzles.  Often time, she and Doug would take Scott camping throughout Texas and Colorado.  She loved watching basketball, especially the Baylor Lady Bears.

Jean was preceded in death by both her parents and her husband, Douglas Lackey; sister-in-law, Sandra Spindle; brother-in-law, Bruce Hagen; and nephew, Brett Jackson.  Oh, what a glorious reunion it was when Jean was reunited with all those who had gone before her.
