Gloria Matkovich Obituary
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gloria Jean Matkovich on Wednesday, October 26, 2022 peacefully at Birchview Seniors Facility in Prince George.
Gloria was born on November 4, 1944 in Bralorne, B.C. to parents Geoffrey and Nellie (Giacomuzi) Walters. She is predeceased by her husband Roger, her sister Marie (Walters) Steep and brother Gordon Walters.
Gloria's greatest joy was life with her late husband Roger. Travelling was a passion with trips as far north as Alaska and South to Arizona and Mexico. They would hook on to the trailer and set off to see the sites. Time at the lake, camping and fishing trips were big on the list. Often friends would join Gloria and Roger with many stories, drinks and laughs shared around the campfire or trailer.
Gloria was an amazing cook and loved to share her food with her many friends and family. Her kitchen was always busy with delicious dinners, baking, canning and preserving.
Gloria loved and was loved by her family. She will be greatly missed especially by her son Glen and his partner Lena, her granddaughter Tyanna, and her niece Donna and her husband David. She is now at peace and reunited with the love of her life.
A small service will be held at Hillside Cemetery in the Spring.
