This is where she met her second husband Glenn, they were married march 21st, 1969. They moved to Bakersfield, CA where Glenn went to work for Armor oil company . While in Bakersfield they had their only child together his name is Glenn also, within a few months they relocated to Spokane, WA where Glenn and Gloria started a new division of Armor oil company. This is where Gloria would raise her 2 daughters and new baby boy. She was a free spirit and very outgoing, some of her favorite activties were: hunting (she was a great shot with a rifle!), bowling, golfing,camping, needle work, gardening and canning.

Mom had a very sharp mind. On October 17th, 2016 she had a major stroke which might have taken most of her mind and memory but not the Love she still showed in her smile. We love you Mom!
