Elizabeth Gbalee Gbour

The Bartee, Gbour, Saytarkon and Kiadii families announce the passing, in her 83rd year, of Elizabeth Gbalee Gbour. She lived in the Liberian community of Trenton, NJ nearly her entire stay in the United States up to a brief stay in Georgia where she passed away in the presence of her daughter, Doris Bartee Pour.   Liberians in the Trenton and some adjacent areas remember her affectionately as "Mammy karla" in respect of her delicious Liberian styled donut snack.   This sad and mournful event occurred at Gwinnett Medical Center, Duluth Branch near Atlanta, Georgia on May 8, 2012.  Her remains were since taken to Trenton, NJ for memorial services before final burial in Liberia.
