Gloria Talbert Obituary

Gloria Talbert, 65 years young, we will never forget her great smile, her enormous capacity to love her family and friends, her beauty and vivaciousness, her great sense of humor and the joy she brought to all who knew her. Gloria, David, and the "girls" settled in Scottsdale in 1999 and she absolutely loved living in this beautiful place. Her home was a little bit of heaven and now she is watching over us all from above. She is survived by her loving husband David; her "girls", Freeway and Sundance; brothers, Anthony (Molly), Julie, and Mario; children, Wendy, Keith, and Jessica and an army of friends.

I am so sorry to learn of your loss. I have only known Gloria for about 1 1/2 years, but so enjoyed the times I was fortunate enough to play tennis with her. She was a great person and a delight to know.

Dear David-
We are very sorry for your loss. I will never forget meeting Gloria for the first time, she was a little pistol. She was full of energy and she left a lasting impression forever in our hearts. If there is anything at all we can do, please do not hesitate to ask. Our prayers are with you!
All our love-
Mitch and Jackie Cooper
