Providing the Very Best in Funeral Service.

One of the Civil Rights Movement’s most prolific foot soldiers has passed away.

Selma’s Joanne Bland, 72, who grew up in GWC Homes and founded Foot Soldiers Park as a legacy to tell the stories of those like her who fought for equal rights in the 1960s, died on Thursday after an illness.

Bland’s family released a statement Thursday afternoon saying, “Bland departed this life surrounded by love, leaving behind a legacy of strength, grace, and unwavering dedication to her family and community.”

“Ms. Bland was a woman of remarkable character whose presence touched countless lives. Her kindness, wisdom, and enduring spirit will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew her. She was a pillar of faith, resilience, and compassion, and her impact will continue to be felt for generations to come.”
