Gloria was raised on a wheat farm and remained a farm girl at heart her entire life. In addition to raising 4 children, she dabbled in everything from rabbits to honey bees and grew bountiful gardens of vegetables and beautiful flowers. Everyone was envious of her green thumb and she can take credit for teaching so many her gift. She was also an excellent seamstress, enjoyed quilting, knitting, and other countless craft projects. Gloria was an active member in the Four Square Church in Edgewood for the past 25 years. Although she was passionate about her hobbies, her greatest joy was being surrounded by her children and their families on a daily basis.
