I met Gloria 50 years ago when I was 19. She was my preceptor and mentor in the ICU nursing setting. She was always full of energy and smiling.. She was a social butterfly and loved her family and her dogs. May you rest in peace my friend knowing you are now with Obie, Micheal and Teresa. Condolences to the rest of you family, especially Chantelâ¤ï¸
Our charge nurse at the Nix Hospital we referred to her as MOM. We will miss her kind heart and work ethics she passed on to us, her work children. Until we meet again, Nothing but smiles in my memories
I had the pleasure of knowing Gloria for more than 20 years and we had so much in common. We were both nurses, sang in our church choir, and were members of the Altar Society.
She was my friend and I will truly miss her dearly.
Chantel I’m so sorry for your loss, every time I would visit her she spoke of you and how proud she was of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
God bless you Gloria.
