Gloria Taylor Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 31, 2024.
Gloria Louise Taylor (née Winterboer) passed away peacefully on August 29, 2024, in Lubbock, TX, at the age of 71. Born on December 17, 1952, in Everly, Iowa, she was a beloved figure in her community and cherished by all who knew her.

Gloria spent her career at Walmart before retiring and continued to dedicate her time as a volunteer at Crystal Bridges. She was deeply involved in various groups reflecting her passions, including crafting, volunteering at local organizations, and participating in both a birthday and camping group. Gloria's love for the outdoors was evident in her commitment to her hiking club.

Known for her loving, giving, and kind nature, Gloria was truly beautiful inside and out. She was crazy about her family and a cherished friend to many. Her life was marked by her compassion and the joy she brought to others.

She is survived by her children, John (Jill), Jennifer (Adam), and Amy; sister, Diane (Ralph); brother-in-law, Don (Gale); 18 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; and numerous cousins and friends. Gloria was preceded in death by her mother, Phyllis Kettleman; father, Warner Winterboer; mother-in-law, Beaulah Taylor; her beloved husband and the love of her life, Jack Taylor; and son, Aaron Taylor.

Services to celebrate Gloria's life will be held on Monday, September 09, 2024, at 4 PM CST at the Chapel in the Woods (Michael B. Cooper Memorial Chapel), 504 Memorial Drive, with a gathering afterwards at Medfield Clubhouse, Bella Vista, AR 72714.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in memory of Gloria can be made to Hospice, American Cancer Society, Wreaths Across America, Bo's Blessings, or the Veterans Nursing Home in Springdale. These charities reflect her spirit of giving and her commitment to supporting causes close to her heart.

Gloria will be greatly missed by the Scarborough neighborhood. We all enjoyed Gloria´s bright and cheerful spirit at our monthly neighborhood breakfasts and spring outdoor potlucks. Gloria was such a great treasure as a neighbor and friend.
Gloria´s laugh and quick witty comments will be remembered always. May she rest in Gods peace .
Thoughts and hugs to her family and friends.

Gloria and I had gone to the Crystal Bridges Christmas setup. We had to park a long way off and walk through a rough parking lot to get to the paved sidewalk. When we reached the paved walk, Gloria took off in that walking stride of hers. I could not keep up. When she was about 15 feet ahead of me, I called out "Gloria, wait for me". She stopped, looked around, was embarsed by the space between us and replyed something to the effect of "I am so sorry". We then completed the rest of the grounds at a leisurely pace. Bill M
