Gloria was a Beautiful Woman inside and out...She played a big part of my early years in Allen Park helping me grow up..Always kept me in line, and did so with her kind Beautiful Heart..She truly was a 2nd Mother to me..You always wanted to be on your best behavior when in her presence, as you never wanted to disappoint or let her down, as she meant that much too me..I'm very happy Gloria was able to live a long beautiful wonderful life with her Husband Don...They were a Perfect Example of how Marriages are suppose to be..I'm confident Gloria is wearing her Beautiful Smile right now, as she is finally in the Presence of Her Lord and Savior...I know she will have that same smile on her face that she wore so often, when we do meet once again in Heaven...I will always cherish our memories..God Bless You My Friend! M.C.
We first met Gloria at Hope Baptist church in Loveland, Colorado and immediately became good friends. She was always a joy to be around and her love of the Savior shown through in her life. We shared great conversations together. I will miss her vivacious personality and look forward to the day we will meet again. May Jesus be with all of her family giving his comfort and peace.

You held my hand and showed me the world. You encouraged me be creative in so many ways. You taught me how to paint, sew, cook the best Swedish pancakes from here to Sweden, how to wear my makeup “like a lady”, and you taught me how to be patient. You taught me to engage in a conversation with even a stranger because they could teach you something new. You took me to church on Sunday’s and tickled my arm until you fell asleep (yes in church) and I would nudge you to tickle the other one. You showed me what unconditional love truly was. You were always proud and never ashamed of me. As I go through all the memories we made together I truly can’t pick one. You were my biggest fan. I was your little girl with all the curls you had always wanted in your life. I never did wrong in your eyes. You will forever be missed. Rest peaceful in heaven Grandma. I will love you to no end. Love your Andrea
As a little girl you held my hand and showed me the world. You taught me what art did for the soul, you taught me how to make the best Swedish pancakes from here to Sweden, you taught me how sew, how to wear my makeup like a lady, and not to dislike my crazy curly hair. You would sing to me and I would join in and sing with you at the top of my lungs without a single care in the world! You Loved me unconditionally with no limits. You took me to church on Sunday’s and tickled my arm (which at the time was the best part of church) until you couldn’t anymore and then you would switch to the other arm. We would go garage sailing until grandpa was ready for a nap. You protected and guided me through so many stages of my life. You were never ashamed of me and never stopped loving me. You will forever be missed. No one loves me like you did grandma! Rest peaceful in heaven. Love always you !💔 Your Andrea
My great aunt Gloria was such a kind and loving woman, I have learned a lot from her about our family tree as she love to do this often. I always felt close to her and she will be greatly missed. My loving thoughts and prayers go out to her family. She is in heaven now with all the family that has gone before us including my mom Hope who thought the world of this woman. May you rest in heaven now aunt Gloria.
All my love,
Carrie Howard (Hunt)
