Gloria Carol Murdoch dePyssler (97) passed away on January 30, 2022 at the War Veterans Home in Bossier City, LA. Gloria was born in Chicago, IL. She traveled the world with her husband, Air Force Colonel Steven dePyssler, deceased. They were married 75 years.
Gloria was raised in the Masonic orphanage in Cicero, Illinois due to the death of her father at a very young age. Her mother, Isabel, joined the WAC's and was stationed in Egypt during WWII. It was at the Home she learned her love of gardening and all things provided by mother nature. Her greatest joy was her family, the love of her pets - cats, dogs, and especially her horses and ponies. Growing a huge garden and canning gave her great joy. The life she led was never boring as she loved to read and do needle work.
The family would like to thank the staff of the NW LA War Veterans Home for all their care given to both Steve and Gloria dePyssler during their stay at their facility, especially during the hard times.
The family requests memorials may be made to the Caddo Animal Rescue.
Gloria is survived by her children, Carol Lee Wendt (Larry) of Evans, GA, Stephanie Hoekstra (Dale, deceased) of Scottsdale, AZ, and Dr. Bruce dePyssler (Kadiatu) of Carrsboro, NC; and grandchildren, Kevin Wendt of Oxford, GA and Darian Wendt of Grove City, OH.
