In addition to raising her family, Gloria was proud to be called “Grammy” by six grandchildren and five great grandchildren.

Gloria was a loving and committed wife, mother and grandmother. She spent most of her life supporting her growing family and serving them. Being a mother and grandmother was one of her greatest joys. She enjoyed being involved in projects, rehearsals, games, and activities of the children and grandchildren. In the most recent years, her church community was also very important to her and being involved with them serving God. She was an avid football fan and enjoyed crafting, many times including her husband, LeRoy as her woodworking craftsman. One of Gloria’s best contributions to her family and friends was her unique love language; cooking. She would often show her love by cooking and feeding those around her.
