Lucille "Mary" Marie Gilmore

Lucille (Mary) Gilmore, 88, of Tampa, passed away 10/30/2018 Mrs. Gilmore (Mary) was a warm, compassionate and vibrant woman whom always went out of her way to help others- no matter what. She was a humble and dignified woman who had a passion for life. She had a wonderful sense of humor which endeared her to everyone she came in contact with. . It is a great testament to her nature that she formed so many long lasting friendships over the years. A devoted wife to her husband of 45 years, Cleo Gilmore, both with difficult times and God’s grace faced life challenges that we all at some point in time in life have to find the strength to endure. She is the co-founder of Victory Over Poverty Incorporated, a non-profit organization that provides humanitarian needs globally. We will miss and always and forever love Mrs. Gilmore and her soft God given graceful Voice that will turn the worst of frowns upside down and force a smile that will last for eternity.
