Lang Watson Foundation Remembers
Vice President, Gloria Gregory Lang
In Memoriam

Gloria Annabelle Gregory Lang - Ancestral LegacyThe Lang Watson Foundation remembers and honors the life of our sister Gloria Gregory Lang, who passed on July 10, 2026. Gloria served as a founding member of the Lang Watson Foundation’s (LWF) Board of Directors and its’ Vice President since 2014. She was instrumental in the development and publishing of the Foundation’s “Soul of Our Family, a Book of Prayers, Praises, and Poems.”
Gloria is a descendant of Reverend Claude Lang and Hazel Natalie Watson Lang; granddaughter of Wilson Frank Watson and Ada Leona (Farris) Watson of Missouri and Harvey, Illinois, and Frederick Lang and Annabelle Lang of Langsdale, Mississippi. She is the Great-Granddaughter of Smiley Lang and Louisa Clark Lang.
Great-Granddaughter of Jane (Watts) Watson and Ben Watson of Missouri; and Great-Great-Granddaughter of Colonel Clement Davenport Lang of Langsdale, Mississippi; and Harry and Minerva (Lewis) Watts who arrive in Jamestown, Virginia about 1830 from the great continent of Africa; and generations of unknown ancestors from Africa and Europe.
Our sister, a great humanitarian, civic leader, and community activist has joined a long line of ancestors whose contribution to humanity continues to have a positive and lasting impact on the lives of Lang Watson family members and people throughout the country and the world. Her ancestors worked as farmers, homemakers, domestic workers, government workers, teachers, civil rights activists, union leaders, soldiers, ministers, missionaries, property owners, business entrepreneurs, and in numerous other occupations and vocations such as musicians and singers, laying a strong foundation for the survival, development and advancement of future generations.
Her spirit and contributions to the lives of others will be missed. May the memories of her comfort you - her siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins, the Lang Watson family at-large, and her devoted friends. “With long life will I satisfy Him, and shew him my salvation” Psalms 91:16 King James Version
