She was also a member of the Red Hats Society where she enjoyed many events with her friends, The Elks Lodge, The Moose Lodge, and The Senior Center, with ceramics being her passion. Gloria was also known for her love of gardening and for having a yard that was admired by all. She loved to travel, shop, and camp with her family and many friends. Gloria loved life itself but adored the holidays, with Christmas and Mardi Gras being her favorite. Her contagious smile and humor will be missed by all.

The family would like to thank the staff of Lakeview Nursing Center for their loving care that was given to their mother. A special thanks to her granddaughter and husband, Crystal and Crisper Stanford for all of their devoted time and love.

Maw Maw, you are sadly missed but really, I've been missing you for a long time already. I have so many memories such as going camping, playing games, going to your house after middle school & you having pudding or jello with cool whip on top, walking around your yard, getting clippings of your plants, etc. Rest in peace now. Dance with Paw Paw & give Catrina a hug & kiss for me. I love you & will see you again one day.
