Gloria Smith

I was a classmate at Banks High School with Gloria. I was so sorry to find that she had passed. Gloria was among the sweetest in our school! It sounds like that she lived her life in full service to others. I am glad to know that I will reunite with her again someday! - Patti

Gloria. What can I say! We interacted for 20 plus years on healthcare, nutrition, and a little gossip in between :). She was a friend; she was a mentor; she was an exceptional human being. She even taught me, hands on, how to make a gluten free onion bread that was outstanding. I will miss her kind soul here on earth! Much love to you, Dain!

The first time I interacted with Gloria was in the school yard. We weren't classmates, but were volunteering with a group from Mosaic Church to do yard work at our local elementary school. When it came to gardening, Gloria knew what she was doing! I became closer with Gloria and Dain when they started mentoring engaged couples in the church who were preparing for marriage. Gloria was quite honest with the couples she worked with, and modeled commitment and grace "in sickness and in health."...

Ms Gloria and Mr Dain are my favorite patients, their kindness and care for others always present in them. I enjoyed all the conversations with them from how to prune fig trees to what is Jesus saying today! I remember one particular day at the office when they were there and one of my employees was paying attention to our conversation and the Lord open the door for them to fully witness to her. Thank you for all the love, patience, and kindness that both of them provide to each person...

Is there any way to find if someone is going to Gloria's service from Corvallis, Albany, Salem or nearby? We were college roommates. Thanks for any help with this request.
