Gloria’s faith was important in her life. She was baptized and confirmed in the Catholic Church and attended St. Mary Catholic Church in Chelsea for over 50 years.
Gloria was a kind and caring person, with a playful sense of humor and an unforgettable giggle. She adored her growing family.

Gloria loved planning theme parties for her Florida condo social committee, joined garden clubs in Michigan and Florida, and played Mahjong at the Chelsea Senior Center.
While Chelsea was her home, she had fond memories of her summer home in Oscoda on the Au Sable River and spending winters in Largo, Florida.
She enjoyed spending time with her family, gardening, and was an avid Detroit Tigers fan.
