She loved cooking, sewing and making crafts. She loved her family, friends, her church and the Lord. She will be missed by all that knew and loved her.

The family especially wants to extend a heartfelt thank you for the tremendous care and outpouring of love and support they received from Trinity Grove. Also this life event was made easier with the help of the amazing hospice team of Bolivia, NC. They both were the Angels that helped Gloria and her family through this difficult time.

Gloria, Mama, Gran, you will surely be missed! We love you and we know you’ re with Ray now. You will forever live in our hearts!
