Gloria was a member of the Eagles. She enjoyed gardening, cooking, fishing and loved to drive. She drove campers, motorhomes pulling a boat or a car. She loved going to casinos and was a lucky winner most of the time.

Gloria and her family went to Curlew Lake in Eastern Washington every July for over 40 years. There she met her second family, Joe and Irene Hopke. Along with the Hopke family she made her happiest memories. She loved to fish, especially at night. Cooking the nightly meals and gathering together is what she loved most.
