Gloria was born on September 3, 1938 and grew up in the East Kildonan area. On November 7, 1959 she married Wesley, 'the love of her life.' Shortly thereafter they started their family and settled in East St. Paul. Gloria enjoyed many aspects of life from teaching figure skating, watching her family play hockey and the many gatherings throughout the years with family and friends. She also had a loving nurturing way for all in need and this inspired everyone she knew. Mom always had a smile for you and it was her wonderful sense of humour that managed to carry us through even the most difficult times. The family expresses heart-felt thanks for the loving care provided by the staff of 3 East at Riverview Health Care Centre and also to the numerous care workers that attended to her.
