Gloria always had a sweet smile.  Her love of art came through in her beautiful work.  We painted together at NCAL.  Gloria was a member of the board at NCAL - what a pleasure to work with her.  
Ron and Gloria so dedicated to each other.  A delightful couple.  Ron has beautiful memories of all their years.  God bless Ron.  Gloria is in God's arms looking down at us with her lovely smile..

I was so sorry to hear about Gloria’s passing. It was a pleasure being a part of the NCAL with her. May she rest in peace.

Very sad to learn of Gloria’s passing. I knew Gloria from the mid 90s when I first came to the US to work at the Hernando Today newspaper.  My sincere condolences to Gloria’s family.

Mom was such an amazing woman she aways said Lisa you are the daughter I never had. I am going to miss making her laugh and cooking her favorite foods. I am so honored to get to spend the time I did with her. I love 
 and will miss you but just know we will see each other again until then save me a seat out by the pool

Gloria was a kind and gentle person who loved spending time with family and friends, enjoying life, to its fullest. Gloria was always there to brighten the lives of others with her infectious laugh, it was our pleasure knowing her. She was adored and loved by all who knew her and will be missed.
Our sympathy and thoughts are with you. Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I am so saddened and in shock to hear of Gloria's passing. We met many years ago while working together at Hernando Today. We became good friends and had some wonderful times together. I will always remember her wonderful, cheerful, kind, and sweet personality and especially her infectious laugh. She was always smiling. I used to love seeing her at our breakfast meetups and get togethers. Sadly, through the years, we lost touch, but I thought of her many times and hoped we would all get together again. She was a wonderful person and she will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. My condolences and sympathy go out to her husband Ron, and her entire family.  Lynda Renshaw

Reunion Breakfast - Hernando Today - May 2018
Gloria at our Breakfast Reunion at Country Kitchen in Brooksville.  She worked with us at Hernando Today/The Tampa Tribune.  Her laughter is one memory we keep and her beautiful friendship.

Sending prayers to Gloria's husband, Ron, and to all of her family and friends. What I will remember most is her smile and her love of painting. Gloria recently served on the Board of Directors for Nature Coast Art League and she never missed a board meeting. The day she did, was the last day many of us would see her again.  Rest in Peace Gloria and I know you are smiling and painting with Angels 🌹
