Special thank you to Father Godfrey, Deacon James, and the communion ministers at Prince of Peach Catholic Parish in North Muskegon for their prayers and spiritual support. Also special thanks to the staff at Harbor Hospice especially Phyllis who kept the family connected with Mom through bi-weekly Zoom gatherings.
Gloria was a registered nurse for over 60 years, married for 53 years and raised 11 children. Her husband was in the Army for 20 years so she traveled and lived in Guam; El Paso, TX; Milwaukee, WI; Munich/Frankfurt, Germany; Tacoma, WA; Mandan, ND; and Largo, FL. She was a devoted, faithful Catholic. She loved and lived for her family. Her smile would brighten anyone's day. She had a generous and giving heart, even to strangers. She smiled every day, even to her last days.
