Gloria M. Ball

Gloria M. Ball, age 90, of Warren, Michigan passed away on Wednesday, September 6, 2023. Gloria was born in Gallitzin, Pennsylvania to Joseph and Edith Gargon. She was the daughter of a coal miner and grew up in Gallitzin, PA. She met the love of her life on a bridge in town and it was love at first sight. On September 8, 1951 they were married and they moved to Michigan for a better life.

Gloria was a longtime member of St. Clement Catholic Church. She enjoyed bowling, birds (especially cardinals), reading poems, and people watching from her lawn swing. In her spare time, Gloria loved shopping at garage sales or thrift stores with her friends, Mary and Erica. She lived for a good bargain!
