Johnico family;
We were sad to hear of the passing of your mom. She was a wonderful woman, a woman that I can remember knowing since I was a small child. She was there for my brothers and I when we lost our father (Joey Spencer). Gloria will forever remain in our hearts.

Gloria will be sorely missed within the Indian community of Wichita. She was always there for her Indian people and contributed much to the Indian Center while serving on the Board of Trustees. Our condolences and prayers are with the family at this time.

I have been a friend of the family for about seven years and have always respected and adored Gloria. She was warm and compassionate with a wonderful sense of humor. I will miss her but will always have memories that make me smile. I hope the family finds comfort in knowing she was so loved and respected by everyone that knew her.
