Gloria Smith Obituary
Gloria was born on March 10, 1938, one of ten children born to Lawrence Matthew and Sadie Marie (Sarver) Smith. She was the last surviving child. She was a devoted wife of 67 years to Kenneth who preceded her in death nine months ago. Gloria was a loving mother to her children Kenneth Jr, Robert (Julie), and Lisa; a proud grandmother to Brandy Coxen (Aaron), Grant Smith (Bridget), Garrett Smith (Caroline), and Sydney Smith; great-grandmother (Grammy) to Asher Elliott Coxen and fur-great-grandchildren Maple & Dewey, and Christian Charles.
She spent her time enjoying her family, going to her cabin, knitting, and bingo. She was a good and faithful servant to her God and will be fondly remembered for how she lit up a room, her pink lipstick, and for her dedication to taking care of those around her.
In lieu of funeral services, please remember Gloria as she was in life, at some moment that is pleasant to recall.
Special thank you to the wonderful nurses at Forbes Regional Hospital ICU.
