Gloria Ann Van Beaver

Concord, NH - Gloria Ann Van Beaver was warmly embraced by our Heavenly Father and all her family and friends that predeceased her on September 29th, 2023. After spending a day surrounded by her loving husband of 62 years and all her children and their spouses, Gloria passed away peacefully. She is survived by her husband, Leo Van Beaver, her 4 children and their spouses, Peter and Linda Van Beaver, Stephen and Pamela Van Beaver, Christina and Timothy Whitaker, and Thomas and Genevieve Van Beaver, her sister Theresa Monterotti, her step-brother William Gallagher, step-sister Jean Gallagher-Genga and her grandchildren, Sarah, Jonathan, Rachel, Laura and her husband Gregory, Charles, Allison, Mitchell, Gabrielle.

Gloria's gentle spirit, kindness, and generous nature touched all that crossed paths with her during her life journey. Her legacy is one of love, tenderness, compassion, and selflessness. Gloria was a master craftswoman for her entire life and her love language was quilting which she shared with everyone. Her quilts provided comfort for her family and friends and people throughout the world and personify her warmth and comforting nature. Gloria's 62-year marriage to Leo was one of love, support, equality, and fervent dedication and partnership. Gloria was devoted to her family and friends and gave everything she had for the benefit of countless others. She was always a student and always a teacher who loved to convey her life knowledge and at the same time always a consumer of knowledge and life experiences.

Gloria was an angel on earth for 83 years and has now returned home. Gloria will forever remain in our hearts as a beacon of love, kindness and strength. Her memory will continue to inspire us to live our lives with the same grace and compassion that she exemplified.

The family would like to express their deep gratitude for all those that welcomed and cared for her at the Havenwood Heritage Heights community.
