Bedridden Grandmother Battles Eviction After Home Sold at Tax Lien Sale
18 Nov
Summary
- 91-year-old Delaware County woman facing eviction
- Home bought from under her at tax lien sale
- Daughter scrambling to find new home before deadline
As of November 18th, 2025, a 91-year-old Delaware County woman named Gloria Gaynor is facing imminent eviction from her home of many years. The situation began in 2020 when, afraid to leave her home during the COVID-19 pandemic, Gaynor failed to pay her property taxes. Though she made the payment in 2021 when things began to return to normal, the payment was not applied to the taxes in arrears.
Consequently, Gaynor's home was bought at a tax lien sale by a company called CJD Group for $3,500 plus fees. Gaynor's family fought the sale, citing her advanced age and slight dementia, but the courts repeatedly ruled in the buyer's favor. Now, with the clock ticking, Gaynor's daughter, Jackie Davis, is desperately trying to find a new home for her bedridden mother before the Delaware County Sheriff's Office forces them out.
"She's in a hospital bed. Are they going to lift the bed up with her in it and take her and put her on the steps?" questioned Davis, who lives in Florida and is running out of time to find a suitable living arrangement for her mother.
