Gloria A. Marcotte

Gloria A. Marcotte or "Glo" as her friends called her, we call her Mom, passed away peacefully in her sleep Sept. 16, 2013. She was 86 years old, or as she would tell you; "I'm 21 times 2". If you had the pleasure of knowing her then you know, she really was 21 times 2 in heart, spirit, vitality and love of life. She was always up and ready to go, go, go. She especially loved being with family and friends. That was her life and she lived it well. One of her favorite sayings was "I'm full of piss and vinegar". That was her way of saying, "I feel good enough to take on the world". And she did take on the world when our Father died in 1969, leaving her to raise three boys by herlelf. She had her hands full, but years later when we were all adults, she would tell us, raising her boys was the highlight of her life. Mom lived and worked in the Greater Daytona Beach area for the past 50 years. Working as a waitress in the early years for such places as The Tropics and Julian's. Then in the 70's she managed The Beef & Bottle, Pump House East and King Arthur's Round Table on top of Pecks Plaza. In the 80's she work for the Dog Track traveling from Daytona to Ft. Lauderdale. Her last job of eight years had her running Carmichael's Pub on ISB for Michael Dan. When Carmichaels closed; at the age of 65, she retired. Way too early for her and the "Glo" within. She worked hard her whole life but never complained. She was honest, loving, careing, generous and proud. She would give you the shirt off her back or her last dollar. She was our best friend, our refuge, our safety net and the best place to seek advice. Most of all, if the world was against you, Mom was by your side. Mom, as long as we breath, we will honor the love you gave us and cherish all the wonderful memories of you throughout our lives. We love you more than life itself......
