Gloria was the penultimate civil servant-efficient, polite, knowledgeable and helpful-a true professional. All that with a delightful sense of humor. Her guidance was paramount in the establishment of the NPSTAB some 20+ years ago.
For that, I will be forever grateful and will miss her and our often shared walks and talks.

Gloria was a treasure of the ST. Joseph community. It was always a pleasure to attend mass and pray the rosary with her. Rest in peace. Jack and Kathy Rooney.

Gloria is someone I have known for years. My Mother Mary A Smith was borough clerk before Gloria. They worked together for several years before my Moms retirement. Since I am a Sister of Mercy at Mount Saint Mary House of Prayer, I had the blessing of an on-going relationship with her. She came to our spiritual programs and volunteered whenever she could. She became a Mercy Associate a couple of years ago which was a gift to all. Gloria was a special woman- a faith filled woman, devoted mother, a gentle spirit, a loyal servant of God. I thank God for her presence in my life and hope to be available when we can publicly celebrate her life when this virus ends.

Lagoria and I grew up across the street from each other on Westervelt Ave. we went to St. Joe's grammer school which was just 3 block down Westervelt Ave. Made the daily trip to and from St. Joe's for 8 years together.
Have not seen or been in touch with her for many years but she was person that anyone would want as a friend.
