Patricia Ann Gulledge

Patricia Ann Durand Gulledge, known affectionately as Ann, age 78, of Loganville, Georgia, passed away on March 14, 2026. A mild-natured and goodhearted woman, Ann touched every life she encountered with her warmth, kindness, and gentle spirit. She lived with quiet strength, compassion, and a deep devotion to her family, finding joy in shopping, going to the movies, cheering for the Atlanta Braves, and peaceful trips to the mountains. Her happiest moments came during her many visits to Daytona Beach, her favorite place and home of her beloved restaurant, Aunt Catfish, where she created cherished memories with those she loved.

Ann’s life was built on love, humility, and kindness. She had a gentle way of making others feel welcomed, supported, and understood. Her warm laughter, giving heart, and peaceful presence were a blessing to everyone around her. Though she is no longer with us, her legacy endures through the values she lived by and the love she poured into her family.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Howard and Lois (Paden) Durand; siblings, Larry Durand and Beverly Rustin; and her son, Franklin Ray Foster III. Ann is survived by her husband of 40 years, Jerry Gulledge; children, Gregory H. (Tonya) Foster, Robyn (James) Winkler, and Edward “Andy” (Rebecca) Gulledge; grandchildren, Kelsey (Avery) White, Gregory Foster, Conner Winkler, Tierra Howell, Devin Noland, and Ashton Noland; great-grandchildren, Korie White and Carson White; siblings, Jerry Durand and Carol Case; many nieces and nephews; and her beloved dog and constant companion, Margarita “Rita.”
