Gloria Gean Arthur

Gloria Gean Arthur, 72, passed away peacefully in her home on January 21, 2026, following a short illness.

She was born in Ward but resided in Alum Creek for over 50 years, where she built a life centered around family, love, and enduring friendships. Gloria was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother whose presence brought warmth and strength to all who knew her.

She is survived by her loving husband of 54 years, Richard Arthur; her children, Melanie Snodgrass (Scott) and Spencer Arthur (Chasity); her grandchildren, Dylan Snodgrass, Chase Arthur, and Brittany Whitten; and her great-grandchildren, Bristol, Jaxon, Maddox, Kennedi, and Colt. She is also survived by her siblings, nieces and nephews, and a host of extended family members and dear friends.

Gloria loved her family and friends fiercely, and her unwavering love and loyalty will be deeply missed by all whose lives she touched.

The family will hold a remembrance gathering at a later date.

The family would like to extend their heartfelt gratitude to Hubbard House Charleston and Barlow Bonsall Funeral Home for their compassion and support during this difficult time.
