Obituary: Patricia Ann Durand Gulledge, 78, of Loganville

Patricia Ann Durand Gulledge, age 78, of Loganville, Georgia, passed away March 14th, 2026.

Patricia was a mild natured, goodhearted woman whose warmth, kindness, and gentle spirit touched every life she encountered. Known to those who loved her simply as “Ann”, she lived her life with quiet strength, compassion, and a deep devotion to her family. Ann enjoyed shopping, going to the movies, cheering for the Atlanta Braves, and taking peaceful trips to the mountains. Her most treasured getaways, however, were the many joyful trips to Daytona Beach, her favorite place, and home of her beloved restaurant, Aunt Catfish. These moments brought her immense happiness and created memories her family will always hold close.

Ann’s life was built on love, humility, and kindness. She had a gentle way of making others feel welcomed, supported, and understood. Her laughter was warm, her heart was giving, and her presence was a blessing to everyone around her. Though she is no longer with us in body, her legacy shines on through the values she lived by and the love she poured into her family. Her memory will remain a guiding light in every life she touched. Ann was preceded in death by her loving parents, Howard & Lois (Paden) Durand, who faithfully served the Lord; siblings, Larry Durand & Beverly Rustin; son, Franklin Ray Foster III, whom she has long awaited to see again. Ann leaves behind a family who will forever carry her memory with love, gratitude, and admiration.

Ann is survived by her husband of 40 years, Jerry Gulledge; children, Gregory H. (Tonya) Foster, Robyn (James) Winkler, & Edward “Andy” (Rebecca) Gulledge; grandchildren, Kelsey (Avery) White, Gregory Foster, Conner Winkler, Tierra Howell, Devin Noland, Ashton Noland; great-grandchildren, Korie White & Carson White; siblings, Jerry Durand & Carol Case; many nieces & nephews; and her beloved dog and constant companion, Margarita “Rita”, who brought her comfort, joy, and unconditional love. No services will be held at this time for Ann. Arrangements by Tim Stewart Funeral Home, 670 Tom Brewer Road, Loganville, Georgia 30052. 770-466-1544.
