Gloria D. Eck

Age 84 of Voorhees

Gloria passed peacefully May 11, 2016. Cherished daughter of pre-deceased Joseph Koruba and Jennie Marchione. Devoted mother of Joseph (Mary Rita) Merlino, Debra Speiser and Gregory (Terri) Merlino. Loving grandmother of Hali, Gina, Dante, Alex, Natalie and Lauren. Dear great grandmother of Dilynn and Ryan.

Gloria was outgoing, cherished her friends and made friends easily. She was a devoted Catholic and loved her time as a liturgical dancer at St. Joan of Arc parish. She was a force unto herself. Gloria brought so much joy to so many lives and she will be greatly missed. We will all miss her constant spunkiness and sass.
