Dr. William Norwood Glover D.D.S
 |
William Norwood (Bill) Glover, D.D.S., of Atlanta, GA, passed away
at home on June 17, 2024. Dr. Glover was born in Newnan, GA on
June 1, 1950, to Howard C. Glover Jr., M.D. and Margaret T.
Glover, both of Newnan. Dr. Glover attended schools in Newnan,
graduating from Newnan High School in 1968. He then attended Emory
University where he was a member of the Kappa Alpha Order,
graduating in 1972. In 1976, Dr. Glover graduated from the Emory
University School of Dentistry and began a 44-year practice in
Buford, GA, retiring in 2020. Dr. Glover took pride in his
practice and treated his patients with care and attention, many of
whom were second generation patients by the time he retired. He
especially valued his loyal staff; he often said they were like a
second family. Dr. Glover loved his family and friends. His large family gave him plenty of material for stories that he delighted in sharing with family, friends, and patients. He was noted for his warm and friendly personality and was blessed with a hearty laugh. Dr. Glover particularly enjoyed gardening at home and was proud of the plants and flowers he grew, some taken from cuttings and bulbs from other family gardens. Travel and skiing were other favorite activities, and for many years he traveled annually to Switzerland for a skiing holiday. He also enjoyed classical music and opera, was a long-time subscriber to the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, and attended many productions of the Metropolitan Opera in New York. Although he rarely cooked, much preferring a fine dinner out, his famous cheese straws were the hit of every family gathering. Dr. Glover is survived by his sister Harriett Glover McCune of Alexandria, VA, and his brothers Howard C. Glover, III (Becky) of Lookout Mountain, TN and John T. Glover (Sandra) of Atlanta, GA. He is also survived by his nephews John C. McCune III of Palm Beach Gardens, FL, John T. Glover, Jr. (Merrilee) of Bozeman, MT, Howard C. Glover IV (Nicole) of Chattanooga, TN, Richard T. Glover of Chattanooga, TN, and Dr. Jeffrey B. Glover (Carrie) of Atlanta, GA. There will be a private interment in the family plot at Oak Hill Cemetery in Newnan, and a Celebration of Life is being planned for a future date in Atlanta. In lieu of flowers, Dr. Glover's memory may be honored |

Susan Pate Glover Jordan Logan
 |
November 1, 1944 - March 8, 2020
Susan Logan passed away peacefully on March 8 in her home in
Hendersonville, North Carolina, surrounded by loved ones. Susan
was born in 1944 in Newnan, Georgia, the third and youngest child
of the late Thomas Jones Glover and Martha Lala Pate Glover, and
the twelfth of 26 grandchildren of Howard Clarke Glover and Fannie
Virginia Jones Glover. She was preceded in death by her sister
Fannie Jones Glover "Jonesy" Mullally, her brother Thomas Jones
Glover, Jr. and her first husband Dr. Brian Thomas Jordan. She is
survived by her husband, William H "Bill" Logan of Hendersonville,
and her son, Kevin Brian Jordan of New Orleans, as well as by her
much-loved nieces and nephews; Lisa Mullally Smith and
husband Matt, Holly Mullally Fortson, James Campbell Mullally,
Lynda Glover Burgy and husband Frank, Thomas Jones Glover III, and
13 great-nieces and nephews.
In 2016, the always vibrant and energetic Susan was quite
surprisingly diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia. Following
traditional and then experimental treatment at Wake Forest Baptist
Hospital, she beat the odds, went into remission and enjoyed
astonishingly good heath for more than three years. Susan did not
let these precious days go to waste. She understood life as a
miracle and each day as a gift. A devotee of the psychology and
teachings of Carl Jung, a Tai Chi instructor, a creative writer, a
marvelous photographer, a person who dances constantly to the
music (real or imagined), Susan was, in every sense, a true
celebrant of Life. Her family, friends and faith community
witnessed the honest courage and joy that Susan lived with in the
face of the uncertainty of her physical future.
A Celebration of Life will take place at 1:00 pm, on Saturday,
March 14, 2020, at the First Congregational United Church of
Christ in Hendersonville, North Carolina. An additional service
will follow at a future date to be determined, in Newnan, Georgia. |

Margaret Trapnell Glover
 |
Margaret Trapnell Glover, 107, of Newnan, Georgia, died peacefully
at home on April 28, 2018. She was born on December 30, 1910, to
John Moore and Frances Farmer Trapnell. She graduated from Newnan
High School and in 1932 from GSCW, where she earned her degree in
three years and excelled in academics, school activities and
sports. During her senior year, she was the Editor-in-Chief of the
Colonnade, the college annual. On January 1, 1938, she married the love of her life, Howard Clarke Glover, Jr., M.D., Newnan’s beloved pediatrician; and until his death more than 72 years later, her life was centered on Dr. Howard and their four children. She was predeceased by her only sibling, her sister Harriett Trapnell, but is survived by her children - Harriett Glover McCune, Alexandria, Virginia; Howard Clarke Glover III (Becky), Chattanooga, Tennessee; John Trapnell Glover (Sandra) and William Norwood Glover, Atlanta, Georgia; five grandchildren-John C. McCune III, Jupiter, Florida; Howard Clarke Glover IV (Nicole) and Richard T. Glover, Chattanooga, Tennessee; John T. Glover, Jr. (Merrilee), Bozeman, Montana; and Jeffrey B. Glover (Carrie), Atlanta, Georgia; eight great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her dear sister-in-law Winnie Glover Klein of Atlanta, Georgia. Very smart and well-organized, she successfully managed a busy household for her family and supported many local groups and charities. She was exceptionally proud of her family and was an unfailing voice of encouragement and support for her husband, children and grandchildren throughout her life. An independent thinker, she would vigorously defend her opinions against any challenge, rarely admitting any need for correction. She was a proponent of the virtue of continuous self-improvement and delighted in sharing newspaper and magazine articles and clippings, touching everything from fashion and travel to history and politics, with friends and family for their enjoyment and interest. Always noted for her stylish and elegant dress and manner, she loved a day in Atlanta or New York shopping with friends. She enjoyed working in her garden, even though she risked being teased for her chic “work” outfits. But Miss Margaret was perhaps best known for her wonderful, classically-trained soprano voice. For almost three decades, she was a mainstay and frequent soloist with the choir of the Central Baptist Church; she also enjoyed singing at weddings of the children of her friends. After the children were grown, she and Dr. Howard travelled frequently to all corners of the globe. She loved visiting new places and was always a real trooper, once riding a camel in the Sahara with broken ribs. Because she long enjoyed robust health, she continued to travel into her ninth decade. It was surely her positive and optimistic outlook, her unwavering Christian faith, her love of family, and her refusal to concede anything to age that contributed to her exceptional longevity. She was blessed to be able to spend her last years comfortably at home due to devoted and capable caregivers. The family especially thank Sandra Brown, Barbara Griffin, Virginia Johnson, Janie Rhodes, and Gail Neal for their many years of loving service. The funeral service and interment will be held at the graveside in Oak Hill Cemetery, Newnan, Georgia, at 1:00 PM on Friday, May 4, 2018 |

Edward William “Kip” Klein III, 63: Former Republican state lawmaker
Kip Klein, seen here in an undated file photo, was a pioneer in
the Georgia GOP ranks when he served in the Legislature from
1991 to 1997. |
Kip Klein, a Marietta attorney and pioneer in the Georgia GOP
ranks when he served in the Legislature from 1991 to 1997, has
died. He was 63.
Life changed for Klein, who represented what at the time was
District 39 in Cobb County, shortly after he ran for the
Republican nomination for attorney general in 1998. He was
diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease – the degenerative,
neuromuscular disorder that also afflicts actor Michael J. Fox
and ex-boxer Muhammad Ali.
Edward William Klein III, known as Kip by nearly everyone, died
Monday of complications from Parkinson’s disease, said his
daughter Shannon Klein of Washington, D.C.
Services are planned for 3 p.m. Friday at the First Baptist
Church in Woodstock.
Though Klein’s bid for attorney general was unsuccessful, he was
beaten by David Ralston of Blue Ridge who was defeated by
Democratic incumbent Thurbert Baker. Still, Klein remained
politically active. He and his wife Sharon began working with
U.S. Sen. Johnny Isakson – a close friend of the couple – on a
compromise that would allow research using select embryonic stem
cells, which had been severely restricted by President George W.
Bush.
Ralston, who went on to become House speaker, said Klein
“embodied the very meaning of worthy adversary.”
“I will forever remember his kind spirit and tenacious will, his
passion for the ideas in which he believed, yet respect for
those who disagreed with him,” he wrote in an email. “The
integrity and dignity he brought to public service are qualities
that are becoming all too rare in today’s political climate.” |

Edward ‘Kip’ William Klein II
I
MARIETTA
— Edward “Kip” William Klein III, a former east Cobb state
representative described as a dedicated family man and public servant,
died Monday from complications with Parkinson’s disease, surrounded by
his family.
He was 63.
A memorial service is planned at 3 p.m. Friday in the chapel of First
Baptist Woodstock.
Elected to the Georgia House in 1990 as a Republican, Klein served until
1997.
Among those who served with him in the General Assembly was U.S. Sen.
Johnny Isakson.
Isakson said in 1990 there were 35 Republicans and a 145 Democrats in
the Georgia House.
“I would say anybody getting elected as a Republican with those kind of
odds would definitely qualify for being a pioneer,” Isakson said. “He
was very thoughtful, hardworking, family oriented, was very big on
adoption legislation, which is something he did a lot of as an
attorney.”
Klein’s northeast Cobb district has changed over the years through
redistricting to now be represented by John Carson.
“I’ll miss him as a friend,” Isakson said. “I’ll miss him as a
thoughtful advisor, and I’ll miss him as a guy who advocated for the
rights of children and the family. Just an all-around prince of a
fellow.”
Klein’s Republican colleagues aren’t alone in admiring the man. State
Sen. Steve Thompson (D-Marietta) had high praise for Klein.
“He’s a little bit more to the right than I was, but we understood that
and it never interfered with our friendship at all,” Thompson said. “He
was one of those people that understood that friendships continue where
politics sometimes stop. He’s one of those guys at 5 o’clock that
understood that we were friends and neighbors, and I guess the best way
to describe him is a gentleman. He was a gentleman and a very bright
guy, and his motivations were always in my opinion very sincere.”
Klein’s daughter, Shannon Klein, a member of the Lassiter High School
Class of 2005 who now works as a legislative aide for Isakson, said the
family was holding up as best they could.
“We’ve lost a great man and a great father, but we know that he’s with
the Lord, and we’re relieved for him that he’s free of suffering as much
as he’ll dearly be missed,” she said.
The manner in which Klein prioritized his life is one of the many things
his daughter admires.
“He loved the Lord first, then my mother second, the girls third, and
with every other ounce of time he had he served others and poured his
life out to others while he was well,” Shannon Klein said. “He’s been
battling Parkinson’s for the past 15 years, but that’s not what we
remember. Instead, we remember the legacy of service and strength that
he left behind.”
Klein was active in the community, chosen to be the envoy to Kuwait for
the Atlanta Olympic Committee and to interact on a good will mission on
behalf of the state in the European Parliament by the European Community
Visitors Programme.
Born and raised in Atlanta, he earned degrees from the University of
Virginia and the Dean Rusk School of Law at the University of Georgia.
He practiced family law in Marietta and took great joy in bringing
families together through adoptions, Shannon Klein said.
In 2000, he received the “Angels in Adoption” award for the State of
Georgia.
Survivors include his wife of 36 years, Sharon; daughters, Tate Ferguson
and her husband, David, Brittany Hunter and her husband, Alexander, and
Shannon Klein; brother, Danny Klein, granddaughter, Austen Hunter, and
extended family: his stepmother, Winifred Klein, stepsister, Caroline
Alford, stepbrothers, Dan Boone, Major Boone, Carl Boone, Bill Boone,
and Bob Boone.
“My father was one of the most
good
humored, loving and passionate men I’ve ever known,” Shannon Klein said.

Howard Clarke Glover Jr.
A colorful chapter in the historical fabric of Coweta County came to an end in the early morning hours of Sept. 10, 2010, as Dr. Howard Clarke Glover Jr. departed this life in the comfort of his home."Dr. Howard," as he was affectionately known, had celebrated his 101st birthday last Dec. 17. He was born in Coweta County Dec. 17, 1908, and was one of nine children of the marriage of Howard Clarke and Fannie Virginia Jones Glover. Besides his parents, Dr. Glover was preceded in death by his siblings Virginia Glover Graham, Caroline Frances Glover, Thomas Jones Glover, J. Littleton Glover, Mary Jones Glover Nixon, and the brother with whom he operated The Glover Clinic, Dr. Nathaniel Banks Glover. Educated as an undergraduate at Mercer University and the University of Virginia, Dr. Glover graduated from University of Virginia's School of Medicine in 1934. He was a member of Kappa Alpha and the Phi Beta PI medical society. He served internships and residencies at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Watts's Hospital in Durham, and at Egleston Hospital in Atlanta (now Children's Healthcare of Atlanta).He then returned to his roots in Newnan to practice medicine for more than 55 years, and for more than 40 years he operated the Glover Clinic at 6 Brown Street in partnership with his brother Nat. He retired in 1993 at the age of 85.Possessed of a remarkable spirit of service, Dr. Howard was the saving grace for many an anxious parent. His calm, reassuring manner put fears aside if the child presented a runny nose or any other more serious problem. His patients knew that at the end of the visit there would be that comforting hug from Dr. Howard to go along with the bird he inevitably drew on each child's hand. Mom and dad would be sent on their way, knowing that this good man would welcome their calls of concern should it be day or night. A great testimony to his endearing nature would be the hundreds of pictures of his patients that were framed on all the walls in his office. Many of his patients would continue to be cared for by him through high school and college if the need arose. His "kids" just did not want to give him up. Dr. Glover led a well-balanced life and loved to spend his leisure time enjoying hunting, fishing, or on the golf course. He was adept as a card player in bridge or poker. During his professional career he was a member of the Rotary Club and served on the board of, at that time, The Citizens and Southern Bank. As a loyal member of Central Baptist Church he had served as chairman of the board of deacons and was Deacon Emeritus at the time of his death. Dr. Glover is survived by his wife, Margaret Trapnell Glover to whom he was married Jan. 1, 1938, in Newnan. His children are Harriett Trapnell Glover McCune of Alexandria, Va., Howard Clarke Glover III and his wife Becky of Lookout Mountain, Tenn., John Trapnell Glover and his wife Sandra of Atlanta and William Norwood Glover of Atlanta. Also surviving are his grandchildren John Chambers McCune III of Mobile, Ala., John Trapnell Glover Jr. and his wife Merrilee of Bozeman, Mont., Howard Clarke Glover IV and his wife Sarah of Boston, Mass., Richard Trapnell Glover and his wife Emily of Chattanooga, Tenn., and Jeffrey Barron Glover and his wife Carrie of Atlanta.

Glover of Boston, Mass., James Alexander Glover of Atlanta and Richard Gates Glover of Chattanooga.
