Gloria GELLNER

Dear Gellner Family
I was a roommate of Gloria's in Sept at Victoria Hospital in London. What a nice person she was with a great sense of humor. Did she get her furniture moved by SP? May you be blessed by her memories.

Marion, my deepest condolences to you and your family.

Gloria made me a cool little clay bubble-gum holder when I was in grade school, and her other creations were always amazing. She was always full of smiles whenever I visited with her. My prayers are with you Robert and Marion.

Gloria was a kind and gentle person that I am sure will be missed by all that knew her. Her pottery making career was her passion. The legacy she has left behind through her beautifully crafted pottery will keep her memory alive for all of us. Our deepest condolences to the Gellner Family for the lose of a wonderful lady.

Marion, Robert and Family: Our heartfelt condolances go out to you. Gloria will be missed by all who knew and loved her. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

I will always be grateful for Glorias willingness to share her clay skills and talent. Sorry for your loss.

I was so blessed to have her teach me her craft. So was such an encouraging and gifted pottery teacher. My thoughts and prayers to you her family and friends.

Dear Marion and family - please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your sister.

I am so sorry to hear of Gloria's passing. We went to school together and occasionally stayed in touch during various Arts & Craft shows. She was a talented potter. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Gloria chose to be a potter not for wealth or fame but passion for the art. She never once wavered in her decision, even when it seemed almost impossible financially to go on... the pottery gods must have been smiling down at her because somehow things always worked out fine. Her strength was her immutable steely resolve to keep at her craft, lovingly producing beautiful pieces.
Gloria regarded her pots as her babies and struggled at times with letting some special ones go, making sure that if she did make the sacrifice in order to pay bills, it was to a very worthy recipient.
Ever the consummate teacher, Gloria delighted in the successes of her students: gentle and oh so patient! she nurtured and inspired her proteges, many of whom became not just life-long students but also good friends and family to her. Gloria so enjoyed her classes that at times she felt a bit guilty taking money when she was having so much fun! No matter what life threw at her she considered herself so very blessed to be doing what she loved best.
I had the great good fortune to have had Gloria as my mentor and dear friend for many years (albeit not at all long enough!).
Wherever you may now be Glo, I imagine you are happily at your wheel throwing celestial pots...
Marion, Aunt Joyce, Rob and family: my deepest sorrow for your loss, with love

Marion and Robert. I am so sorry for your loss. I saw Gloria many times at Art by the River in Amherstburg and have some of her pottery in my home. My families thoughts go out to at this time.

Gloria introduced me to the throwing of clay at Potters Four 25 years ago! My pieces will be even more cherished and her energy encircles them all. Rest sweetly Gloria.

We are still all heartbroken. I thought of all your visits to St. cath. Every October for the Vineland show, setting up, hoping you would sell lots of pottery, your thanksgiving dinner with us, shopping and home again waiting for next Oct. We will never be without you my dear girly.
