First met Gloria in 1949 at the old Newton National Bank. We worked together off and on for the next 51 years. There are so many happy memories of those years. She was a wonderful lady, co-worker, and friend. She always loved a party. To you, her family, please know that our thoughts are with you and we extend our deepest sympathy.
