Gloria was a second mom to me while I was growing up in Grantsville. My sister Tammy and I played with Melanie Marilyn and Melinda. She took is to Disneyland in 1980. She would also take us to Lagoon many times. She taught her children how have a good work ethic. The girls worked from the age of 13. She was a very loving and giving person. She also taught me how to sew. We are going to miss this wonderful lady
I loved Aunt Gloria so much and I will miss her deeply! I enjoyed spending time with her, talking about genealogy, work, and life in general. She never passed up an opportunity to tell me how proud she was of me and how much she loved me. The last time I visited with her, she was already living with Alzheimer’s; I walked in and her face lit up. She grabbed my hands and said “I don’t remember who you are but I know we love each other.” I told her “absolutely”. We talked for a couple of hours and she had so many interesting stories to tell about her youth. We spoke of “current events” (WW II era in her mind) and I had a great time being with her in that moment. It will always be one of my favorite memories in spite of that awful condition. I’m so grateful for the time I was able to spend with her throughout my life. Rest in peace, my beautiful Aunt Gloria❤️
