Gloria Grenier Obituary
Gloria was born on Nov. 16, 1926, in Fairfield, the eldest daughter of Mabel Gardner Cyr.
Gloria went to Fairfield schools, Lawrence High. Gloria married Real Joseph Grenier of Waterville on June 2, 1945, at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Fairfield. Together they had 11 children (in order of birth): Patricia Cohen and husband Norman Cohen of Anaheim, Calif., and family, James Grenier and wife Marianne of Waterville and family, Robert Grenier of Waterville and family, Richard Grenier of Fontana, Calif., and family, Carol Cummings and husband Stephen of Waterville and family, Stephen Grenier of West Palm Beach, Fla., and family, Mark Grenier of Sidney and family, Donna Cryder of Olympia, Wash., and family, David Grenier of Las Vegas, who passed away on May 27, 2006, Daniel Grenier of Waterville and family, and Jeffrey Grenier of Albion and family.
Gloria was predeceased by her husband, Real Joseph Grenier; and a son, David Allen Grenier of Las Vegas. Gloria is survived by three sisters, all of Waterville and their families, Julie Fortin, Dorothy Landwehr and Mary Gower; and one brother, Richard Cyr; one sister-in-law, Cecile Grenier, of Waterville, and family. Gloria is also survived by 10 children; 22 grandchildren; and 25-plus great-grandchildren; and many nieces and nephews.
A memorial Mass will be celebrated for family and friends at 11 a.m. Friday, May 13, at Sacred Heart Church on Pleasant Street, Waterville.
Arrangements are being made by Direct Cremation of Maine for Gloria's remains. A very special thanks to the HealthReach Hospice nurses and staff, and her wonderful doctor, Dr. Jeffrey Lovitz.
Gloria was a beautiful, devoted mother who cared for her children and husband in an amazing way. Gloria loved music and had a special gift for playing all kinds of musical instruments by ear. She gave her family much joy and comfort, and will be sadly missed. Gloria also always had cats and will be sadly missed by her little cat, Millie.

Grenier family,
I send my thoughts and condolences for your family at this rough time.
Think of the laughter, and the love, you all shared.
Know that nothing will ever take that away from you all.
Then realize someone has your back, looking down on you from the great sky above.
