24 Mar 2025I met Gloria when we bought the house next door in Wintersville, Ohio. We were neighbors for over 20 years.
She helped me with many changes in my life and was my realtor when my oldest daughter and youngest son moved to Las Vegas. We stayed in touch with Christmas cards, occasional phone calls and she and Lee joined us in Pittsburgh for many Steelers home games. Her beautiful smile never changed. I know she was very happy and upbeat even through many health issues. I was able to speak to her when she advised me of her move to assisted living. She was very upbeat and we talked a few times that week. Shocked and sad to hear of her passing. I’ll never forget her.

25 Mar 2025I only knew Gloria for a short time, 5 or 6 years. But, she touched me in many ways. I loved our conversations. She was a sharp tack and a memory beyond belief. Gloria could tell a story about something that happened 50 years ago and then tell you exactly what she was wearing on that day! She started as a type of co-worker to me. Became a mentor. Then a friend. I’m sorry for your loss. It’s all our loss. I will miss Gloria very much.
