To the Deegan Family, I am so sorry to hear of Gloria's passing. I worked with her at Muhlenberg Medical Center and what I remember most was her compassion for her patients and staff. I remember her and another staff member sitting with and holding hands with a dying patient. The care she gave was genuine. She was a delight to work.

To the Deegan Family:
I worked with Gloria in the Detox Center at Muhlenberg Medical Center from 1974 to 1981. Gloria was the leader of all those great nurses helping patients suffering from alcohol addiction. Mary Ann,Evelyn,
Mrs B, Margaret. She set a compassionate tone that everyone embraced. For me, she taught me a great deal. I had just graduated from college and it was my first professional job. I am still in the Mental Health field and have thought of her and her people skills when dealing with patients over the years.
My life has been better as a result of knowing her.
