Gloria Jean Davis

1944 - 2025

Gloria Jean (Morrison) Davis, 80, Omro, WI, passed away at home, on August 23, 2025, holding the hand of her best friend and husband of 44 years.

Gloria, was born in Berlin, WI on November 13, 1944, to Roy and Gladys Morrison.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Rick; and stepson, Ron.

Gloria is survived by her sister, Rhonda (Paul) Nichols; and her brothers, Doug (Diana), Roger (Jean), Kent (Mary), and Brad (Dave).

She graduated from Wautoma High School in 1962. Gloria worked many, many jobs, sometimes all at once to take care of her family. Later she returned to school and got her degree as a Technician of Chiropractic at Palmer University, while her husband Ed studied to become a chiropractor.

She had two children during her first marriage, Robert (Stacy) Wagner in 1966, and Wende Wagner in 1970.

Mom married Ed in April of 1981, and Bryce was born much, much, much later that year. Also joining them were Ed's children, Ronald "Ron" and Yvonne "Vonnie" (Dave). Spoiler you two, there is no Santa!

Her grandchildren include Matthew "Matt" 1985, Katherine "Katy" (Teddy) Osborne 1988, Caitlyn "Caty" 1992, Courtlyn "Charlie" 1995, Jacob "Jake" 2001, Hanna and Robert "RJ" (Aeries) 2002. Her great-grandson Liam was added in 2019.

Our mom had an amazing sense of humor, ESPECIALLY if the joke was on her! She also rarely sat down.

She enjoyed biking, especially to work which was sometimes 20 miles or more away, gardening, and hauling her children and grandchildren to church camp for more years than we can count.

Mom was an avid skier, water and snow, and could still get out of the water on one ski at 79. We can all still hear her scream as she gets into a lake somewhere.

She loved waterfall hikes, camping on the Wisconsin River, and RVing around the country to visit friends and family.

Gloria was semi famous, locally, as she was once on a cooking show where she made Wisconsin chili with [grabs elbow on live tv] elbow macaroni. Then there's the time she drove off with a gas hose in Omro. Twice. In one week. From the same gas station.

She loved her birds, especially orioles, and her bird feeders, her family, border collies (Shout out to Gypsy and Rebel!) and green olive pizza from Pizza Ranch. No, more olives than that. Nope, still more. GIVE ME ALL THE GREEN OLIVES YOU HAVE!

She was our mom. She was our Nana. She was so much more to all of us.

A celebration to honor her life will be held at Poplar Creek Barn, 4541 Cty Rd K in Oshkosh on Sunday, November 2, 2025, from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. with fireworks at 5:30.

Take the slack out. Hit it.
