Gloria Hinton (Thompson), of Covington, passed away Tuesday, July 20, 2021, at the age of 87. Gloria had a strong work ethic, retiring from Sweetheart Plastics and Exchange Bank. She enjoyed reading, traveling, and working in her yard, as well as watching the Braves and Georgia Bulldogs. Gloria was a great cook, especially when making breakfast. She was a simple lady, worrying more about people than flashy things. She had a strong belief that things should be done a certain way, an ideology she got from her mother. She loved her grandchildren and great-grandchildren dearly. Gloria was preceded in death by her first husband, John D. Hinton; second husband, James L. Thompson; parents, Virgil and Johnnie Piper; and sisters, Mariana, and Sandra.
