Gloria was such a beautiful person. Fond memories from childhood. Thought she was gorgeous. May she rest in peace.

I am sorry to hear about the passing of Mrs. Gloria Dunmore. Her devotion to others as a nurse, medical office manager, a member of the Diaconate at Plymouth Congregational UCC, mother, and friend, was second to none. Sending strength and prayers to fellow Duke alumnae Gwendolyn, Jacqueline, and the rest of her family.
