Gloria was a graduate of Logan Hills High School in 1967. She worked for Underwriter's Laboratory (UL) most of her life as executive secretary. She was a member of the Catholic Church in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Moving back to Ohio 14 years ago, she continued her faith study in the Catholic and Nazarene Churches.

Gloria was an avid golfer. Loved gardening and showing flowers at the Champaign County Fair yearly. She looked forward to seeing her weekly night bowling team and the fun they would have. One big highlight of her life was volunteering at the West Liberty-Salem school faithfully for 11 years in her niece's (Cindy Dallas) classroom. Oh, how she loved working with the WL-S students. Gloria enjoyed camping with her sister Linda and her husband Larry throughout the summer, along with dogs Charlie and Pepper. Gloria was active in the cancer door campaign by supplies doors for others to decorate and sell. Gloria loved serving her West Liberty community by being a Lion's Club member. She was involved in many Lion's activities and served as the President in 2018-2019. She continued to serve her community and country by being a coronary donor after her death.
