Gloria Doten passed away peacefully on Monday, June 27, 2016 at the age of 85 years. Treasured and appreciated for her caring nature and thoughtful attention to detail, Gloria also had a mischievous sense of humour.
Predeceased by her husband, Vern, after 63 years of marriage, Gloria was a loving mom to Jeff (Caryl) and Greg (Gail) and had a special relationship with her granddaughter, Julia. Gloria was proud of her long career as a bookkeeper and active engagement in her community. Music (singing), books (mystery) and a love of the outdoors (tent camping well into her 70's) along with stylish fashion were constants throughout Gloria's life. With the voice of an angel and the heart of a warrior, Gloria's gentle soul is now at peace in the embrace of her loving God.
Friends and family are invited to celebrate Gloria's life (and to enjoy some chocolate!), on Wednesday, July 6, 2016 at SOUTH CALGARY FUNERAL CENTRE, 12700 Macleod Trail South (at Lake Fraser Gate), at 11:00 a.m.
If friends so desire, memorial donations in Gloria’s memory may be made to Osteoporosis Canada, (1200 Eglinton Ave E, Suite 500 Toronto, ON M3C 1H9).
Messages of remembrance may be left for the family at www.southcalgaryfuneralcentre.ca
