Gloria J. Hans, born on November 6, 1948; a daughter of Chester and Elizabeth Fisher Multunas, passed away peacefully at her residence on March 4, 2025. She was a beloved figure in her community and will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
Gloria's career spanned many years as a dedicated beautician, serving multiple beauty salons where she shared her passion and talent for hair and beauty. Her warmth and genuine spirit made her not only a skilled professional but also a trusted friend to many of her clients. In addition to her work in the beauty industry, Gloria contributed her efforts at Family Dollar and Dollar General in McDonald, where her friendly demeanor and helpful nature were appreciated by both customers and coworkers alike.
Education played an important role in Gloria's life, as she was proud to be a graduate of West Allegheny and the Pittsburgh Beauty Academy, laying the foundation for her successful career.
Outside of her professional endeavors, Gloria had a rich tapestry of hobbies and interests. She found joy in gardening, where she nurtured both plants and her love for the outdoors. Camping was another cherished pastime, a way for her to connect with nature and enjoy the moments spent in the company of family. Most importantly, she delighted in spending time with her grandchildren, cultivating lasting memories that would forever remain in their hearts. Gloria also had a special bond with her dog, "Max," who brought her joy and companionship.

Gloria was the proud grandmother of four: John W. (Sierra) Hans Jr., Krystle, Travis, and Taylor Hans, and she celebrated the joy of being a great-grandmother to six beautiful great-grandchildren.
