She was employed at Mercantile Bank, as a Data Entry Operator for many years, until her retirement in the early 90's. She then decided to move to Seattle, where she would live out the remainder of her life. Gloria was a wonderful mother and a loving grandmother, who loved to cook, crochet, make ceramics and leather wallets, which she would give as gifts to family and friends.

If you didn't know anything else about Gloria, you knew she threw down in the kitchen! Cooking was one of the things she loved to do and was great at it. She will be missed!
