Gloria was born in Jamestown, LA, on Saturday, March 31, 1945 to the proud parents, Lorene and Mertis Woods.
Young Miss Woods met a handsome young Air Force Service man and accepted his proposal and became his bride on May 5, 1962 as they entered Holy Matrimony. Gloria was a happy military wife, as she aided her husband proudly serving our country, as well as her Lord as they were long time members of Heritage Baptist Church. She raised her three beautiful daughters in Bossier City and was a devoted wife and mother. Although, she did have other devotions, in which she was passionate about: She loved her L.S.U. Tigers and New Orleans Saints. Gloria was a member of the Senior Saints at church. Yes, she was a true fan faithful to the Purple and Gold too. She was fortunate to see her LSU Tigers win the National Championship.
Gloria was preceded in death by: her father, Lorene Woods; mother Mertise Evans Woods; and her loving husband, Bobby P. Mize.
Left to carry on her legacy are: her daughters, Susan (& Chris) Hohman, Rhonda (& Danny) Roton, and Bobbie Jo (& Shane) Birmingham; and brother Ronald (& Bunny) Woods. Also left to cherish her memory are nine grandchildren, to include her beloved Priscilla "Bud" Vigil who never left her side through Gloria’s illness; and six great grandchildren.
We’re going to miss her greatly.
