She was born in Milwaukee, WI on August 13, 1931. Gloria graduated from South Division High School in 1949. After graduation, she worked for a short while, before deciding to join the Air Force, which allowed her to attend the University of Arizona. Gloria then transferred to South Carolina, followed by a transfer to Langley Air Force Base. It was there that she met and married her husband, Jerry. Gloria left the Air Force as a sergeant and continued with a civil service career that was interrupted on occasion to move with Jerry on his Air Force transfers. Together they lived in seven states and two countries over the years. Gloria retired from civil service in 1993, and they moved to the home they built on Lake Anna, Va.
Gloria enjoyed living at Lake Anna and all the friends they made over the years living there. She was an active member of St. Jude Catholic Church of Louisa, the Belmont Club of Woman and Company 9 of the Spotsylvania Belmont Fire Auxiliary. Gloria and Jerry enjoyed cruises, and visiting with friends and relatives around the country. She will be truly missed.
