In loving memory of Gloria Ann Williams, who was born August 15, 1938, in Gaithersburg, Maryland, until her peaceful passing on August 21, 2025, at the age of 87. Gloria was the beloved daughter of the late Willis and Virginia Sirk and a radiant spirit whose warmth touched everyone she met. Surrounded by her cherished family in her final moments, she leaves behind a legacy of love and devotion.

Gloria dedicated her life to her family, creating a home filled with love, laughter, and support. She is survived by her devoted children, Michael (Lisa) Williams, Stacy Finnell and Chris (Tina) Williams. As a grandmother, she took immense pride in her grandchildren; Aaron (Danielle) Finnell, Stephaine Williams, Paige Finnell, Joshua Williams, Jonathan (Cora) Williams, Christine Williams,Thomas Bradford, and Gabrielle Bradford. Gloria's legacy continues with her joyful great-grandchildren: Payton Carol, Dallas, Kai, Wesley, Knike David and Ehmze David. She was also a loving sister to the late Randy Sirk, Michael (Gretchen) Sirk, and Bill Sirk. Gloria will forever hold a special place in the hearts of her family, and her memory will live on through stories filled with love and laughter.

Gloria was a bright light with an infectious spirit, she found joy in life's simplest pleasures crafting beautiful creations, preparing hearty meals for her loved ones, tending to her garden, and sharing her love of music in the choir. Her vibrant spirit touched all who knew her, and she will be deeply missed.

To honor her life and the immeasurable love she brought to our world, the family invites all who knew and loved Gloria to gather in memory. A visitation will take place at Frederick Funeral Home, located at 2553 Banning Rd., on Monday, August 25, 2025, from 10:00 AM until time of funeral service at 11:30 AM. As we gather to celebrate the life of Gloria Ann Williams, we find solace in the memories we've shared and the love that remains. Her spirit will forever hold a special place in our hearts, as we remember a life well-lived, filled with love and cherished moments.
